FWaaS includes application-aware firewall rules, five-tuple rules (source and destination addresses and ports plus protocol), user-ID and group-ID in rules, fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) and wildcards as destinations, an application layer gateway for FTP, and firewall event logging.
One platform, console, policy engine, and client reduce complexity, consolidate, and centralize access control for a single-pass secure cloud edge. FWaaS is an integrated SSE defense alongside SWG, CASB, ZTNA, RBI, IPS, SOCKS5 Proxy, and DNS Security.
Apply egress traffic firewall rules to remote and hybrid users for managed or unmanaged devices, plus for offices including machine traffic in IPsec or GRE tunnels. Secure web/SaaS and non-web traffic for users or machines with one platform.
FWaaS is available globally via NewEdge data centers, the world’s largest, highest-performing private security cloud, backed by leading uptime and latency SLAs. Each data center has full compute for all SSE defenses including FWaaS.
Transform the way security operations teams apply data-driven insights to implement better policies by identifying trends, zero in on areas of concern, and use the data to take action. Optionally, use Cloud Exchange to export FWaaS logs to a SIEM, cloud storage, or a data lake.

Protect users and offices from anywhere using a SASE-based infrastructure to deliver consistent outbound firewall application controls and security policies.
Eliminate latency caused by backhauling traffic to a centralized enterprise firewall by delivering firewall services where they are needed.
Eliminate security blind spots for non-web traffic and control access to risky apps like RDP, plus add-on IPS, SOCKS5 Proxy, and DNS Security to block threats, DNS tunneling, and malicious domains.
Get better visibility and control by using Netskope for centralized security enforcement of web and cloud (with Next Gen SWG) and non-web/DNS traffic (with FWaaS).
Reduce security operations cost and complexity by offloading outbound policy to Netskope One FWaaS, for single console/single client administration around the world.

We had a clear need for a solution to secure our remote devices without having to backhaul the traffic back to our datacenter.
We allow our people to work from home, so we needed to vastly improve the performance of remote access.
5 demos to modernize proxies, firewalls, and VPNs—delivering seamless access, uptime, and efficiency
Your network security should work seamlessly. No slowdowns, no security gaps, no endless troubleshooting. But outdated tools make everything harder than it needs to be. These short demos are here to help. They show you how to tackle performance issues before they escalate, secure remote access without delays, and simplify troubleshooting with tools that actually make your job easier.
The roles of firewalls and proxy gateways are rapidly evolving with security service edge (SSE) transformations. Traditional firewalls, once focused on perimeter security, are now part of SSE cloud platforms as Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) alongside SWG, CASB, and ZTNA.
The landscape of network security is under a metamorphosis. Traditionally, firewalls and proxy gateways have been pivotal in safeguarding our networks. Yet, as we transition into a new era characterized by remote work, heightened digital threats, and the rise of security service edge (SSE) solutions, the roles and effectiveness of these defenses are also transforming. This paper provides crucial insights into leveraging this evolution for enhanced security and efficiency.
Netskope One FWaaS (firewall as a Service) provides consistent egress traffic firewall protection for all users and locations without the need for hardware or back hauling traffic to central locations. By moving to the cloud, the platform allows you to manage global inline security from a single central console for any user, any location, and any device including network firewall policies. This enables consolidation, more efficient operations, and reduces complexity.
Netskope One FWaaS enables firewall rules for all ports and protocols to only allow what is desired and thus closing off possible ports and protocols that attacks and malware could use for movement. DNS security with FWaaS also blocks known risky domains, domain generation algorithm (DGA) domains, and inspects DNS requests. IPS with FWaaS provides blocking of known network threats including command and control (C2), and also can alert on high-interest traffic including possible C2 beacons for network threat hunting including by SOC and IR teams.
Yes. Netskope One FWaaS allows organizations to retire local firewall appliances and simplify their branch infrastructure. This allows the organization to lower overall costs and streamline network management.
Netskope One FWaaS allows you to create a single global firewall policy that applies to every office and remote user within one policy management interface. This ensures that the firewall enforces your security standards uniformly across the whole company. Firewall policies can also be applied to specific users, groups, quintuple policy control, fully qualified domain names (FQDNs), and wildcards.
