Multi-Point Solutions.
One Complete Service.

FWaaS is how businesses are finding affordable cloud-based firewall solutions to help fill security gaps against cyber attacks. The service must deliver scalable Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) functionality, which includes advanced threat protection (ATP), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), domain name systems (DNS) and deep packet inspection.

GTT’s on-premise and network security services provide businesses with several security solution options from a single provider. Our multi-point approach allows you to streamline security policies without relying on multiple IT teams.

THE ULTIMATE FIREWALL AS A SERVICE PROVIDER

Few other cloud-based services can provide the global reach and expertise of GTT. Our wide range of managed services allows us to provide unmatched security capabilities. And, as you grow, we can continue to provide the cybersecurity you need.

Next-Generation Firewall Protection.

As networks expand to include new cloud infrastructures, new vulnerabilities can surface in traditional firewalls, making corporate data a lucrative target. As part of a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework, GTT’s firewall capabilities elevate your security posture with NGFW protection. The SASE framework integrates firewall rules, like Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), secure web gateways (SWG), advanced threat intelligence and access controls to ensure your corporate resources are safe. GTT’s FWaaS solution prevents cyberattacks regardless of the attack vector.

The Benefits of FWaaS

Multiple Services. One Unified Solution.

Deploy anti-virus, anti-malware and next-generation firewall capabilities to protect your on-site or remote workers from a single, easy-to-use platform.

Application-Aware Firewall

Expand your firewall protection to encompass network traffic, transport layer security (TSL), and Layer 7 app-level security to boost your overall security posture.

THE EVOLUTION OF FIREWALL PROTECTION

Firewalls evolved alongside the internet as a way for businesses to keep their data centers secure while accessing information from outside sources. The first firewalls were simple controllers that used IP addresses and port numbers to authorize access.

However, as cyberattacks became more sophisticated, more stateful firewalls entered the picture in order to track the condition of a TCP connection. These stateful firewalls represented the second generation of protection enterprises could utilize.

Today, we have next-generation firewall capabilities, meaning security tools analyze far more information about specific network traffic to make routing decisions. GTT’s firewall service uses this NGFW technology to provide endpoint protection.

IMPROVED NETWORK VISIBILITY

FWaaS integrates your necessary security components, like anti-virus, anti-malware and firewalls, into a single-pane view, reducing time spent navigating various systems. Unify your security policies, transfer traffic to the cloud and enjoy complete network visibility.
