• Web filtering, network logging, intrusion detection and prevention systems, single sign-on and authentication support, and deep packet inspection function in a cloud-based environment
• Easily they can manage firewalls through APIs, AWS CloudFormation and independent software vendors
• Features such as behavioral threat detection and next-generation analytics can enhance the security that firewalls provide
