Understanding Firewall as a Service FWaaS

Firewall as a Service FWaaS delivers firewall capabilities, such as packet filtering, stateful inspection, IPS, URL filtering, and TLS decryption, from the cloud as a scalable, managed service rather than via on-premises hardware appliances. A core component of Secure Access Service Edge SASE, FWaaS lets distributed users and branch sites route traffic to a cloud enforcement point, providing consistent policy without backhauling to a central data center.
