Firewall
Protect the resources in your virtual data centre with cloud-native network security.
Firewall security to help protect your digital assets
Strengthen your network security posture
Create, enforce and log application and network connectivity policies on the gateway. Match rules on applications as well as IP addresses and ports.
Start using the firewall with your virtual data centre
Every virtual data centre comes with a gateway that includes a firewall and NAT. Write rules in the portal for inbound and outbound traffic, site-to-site VPN tunnels and private connectivity circuits.
Publish services in one step
Expose a web server to the internet on a single port: the DNAT rule and the firewall allow rule open together and roll back together, and all other traffic is denied.
Inspect traffic in real time
With Intrusion Detection & Prevention, traffic through the gateway is checked against signatures that describe known attack patterns, and attacks can optionally be blocked.
Example scenarios
A team putting its web server on the internet
The DNAT rule and the firewall permit are opened together in one step for a single port. All other traffic is refused, and both are withdrawn together when needed.
A company opening its admin screens to Türkiye only
With a country-based IP block group, admin and portal screens are reachable only from Türkiye. The list is kept up to date automatically, with no IP list to maintain.
An admin finding out why a connection is blocked
Logging is switched on for the rule, and firewall and NAT logs are viewed in the portal. Records can be exported as CSV when needed.
Simplify deployment and management of your network security
Country-based filtering
IP block groups for 250 countries are kept up to date automatically. Open your admin and portal screens to Türkiye only, without maintaining IP lists yourself.
Flexible rule definitions
Use allow, drop and reject actions; single IPs, CIDRs, ranges or firewall groups as source and destination; 415 built-in application profiles or your own TCP, UDP and ICMP profiles.
Full visibility
Turn on logging per rule, and view firewall and NAT logs in the portal or export them as CSV.
Unified management
Manage firewall, NAT, site-to-site VPN, load balancer virtual IPs and static routes on the same gateway with one common rule table.
High availability
The gateway runs on two nodes, active and standby; if the active node fails, the standby node takes over.
NAT and traffic shaping
Map external and internal ports with SNAT and DNAT rules, and apply a rate-limit profile to the gateway's inbound and outbound traffic.
Embedded security
Audit trail
Rule changes appear in the audit trail with the name of the user who made them.
The same rules for IPv4 and IPv6
A rule can apply to IPv4, IPv6 or both IP versions at once.
A device that fits your policy
If your corporate security policy requires a specific firewall, you can choose your own virtual firewall appliance in place of the gateway.
