What Is a Cloud Firewall?

A Cloud Firewall is a network security solution that protects cloud-based infrastructure, applications, and data from unauthorized access, cyber threats, and malicious traffic. Unlike traditional firewalls, which are hardware-based and deployed on-premises, cloud firewalls operate in the cloud and provide scalable, real-time protection for cloud resources.

Cloud firewalls filter incoming and outgoing traffic, enforce security policies, and protect businesses from threats like DDoS attacks, malware, and unauthorized data access. Since they are cloud-native, they can adapt to modern hybrid and multi-cloud environments, providing security for remote teams, SaaS applications, and virtual desktops.

Use Cases in Teams & Organizations

• Protecting Cloud Workloads & Applications: Businesses running cloud-based apps, virtual desktops, and development environments rely on cloud firewalls to monitor and filter malicious traffic before it reaches their systems.

• Securing Remote Work & BYOD: Employees accessing company data from personal devices need secure cloud-based protection to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.

• DDoS Attack Prevention: Cloud firewalls provide real-time protection against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, ensuring that web services and applications remain operational.

• Regulatory Compliance & Data Security: Industries such as finance, healthcare, and legal services require strict firewall policies to comply with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2.
