Cloud Firewall

Tencent Cloud Firewall (CFW) is a SaaS-based firewall designed for public cloud environments. It primarily provides users with protection at different network boundaries, addressing the security and management needs for unified access control management and log auditing in the cloud. Cloud Firewall not only offers traditional firewall capabilities but also supports multi-tenancy and elastic scalability in the cloud, making it the first network security infrastructure for users migrating their business to the cloud. Website Cloud Firewall not only possesses the basic protection capabilities of traditional firewalls but also leverages its configuration advantages tailored to cloud scenarios, supporting features such as multi-tenant management and elastic scalability, establishing itself as the first network security infrastructure for business cloud migration. Its rich Cloud Firewall Features are its core competitiveness, covering key capabilities such as real-time attack interception, full traffic log analysis, and incident traceability and forensics. Meanwhile, targeted Cloud Firewall Solutions can precisely match diverse business scenarios such as proactive outbound connection control and DMZ zone management. To allow users to intuitively verify the protection effectiveness, Tencent Cloud offers a Cloud Firewall Trial service. Users can deeply experience the actual performance of Cloud Firewall Features through the trial, familiarize themselves with the flexible adaptability of Cloud Firewall Configuration, and subsequently choose a Cloud Firewall Solution that best fits their business needs.

Q: What are the core Cloud Firewall Features of Website Cloud Firewall, and how do these features support the implementation of Cloud Firewall Solutions?

A: The core Cloud Firewall Features of Website Cloud Firewall include real-time attack interception (supporting ACL proactive control, IPS real-time blocking, virtual patching, malicious code detection, and integrating Tencent Security threat intelligence to intercept abnormal host outbound connections) and incident traceability and forensics (full traffic network log analysis, up to 6 months of log retention, and advanced threat tracing). These Cloud Firewall Features form the core support for Cloud Firewall Solutions. For example, in proactive outbound connection control scenarios, granular access control functions based on domains or CVM instances, combined with flexible Cloud Firewall Configuration, enable Website Cloud Firewall to precisely meet control requirements. In DMZ zone management scenarios, fine-grained isolation control functions are leveraged to achieve focused protection of core assets. Users can also personally experience how these features support the implementation of Cloud Firewall Solutions through the Cloud Firewall Trial.

Q: What factors should users consider when performing Cloud Firewall Configuration to ensure efficient adaptation between Website Cloud Firewall and Cloud Firewall Solutions?

A: When performing Cloud Firewall Configuration, users should first clarify their business scenarios (e.g., proactive outbound connection control, DMZ zone management, etc.). Different scenarios require different Cloud Firewall Configuration logics for the corresponding Cloud Firewall Solutions. For instance, DMZ zone management requires a focus on VPC isolation configuration, and the NAT capability supported by the Advanced edition and above needs to be adapted to corresponding boundary protection configurations. Secondly, users should consider the product edition (Advanced, Enterprise, or Flagship), as different editions of Website Cloud Firewall vary in their support for Cloud Firewall Features, which in turn affects the direction of Cloud Firewall Configuration. Additionally, users can first utilize the Cloud Firewall Trial to test the flexibility of Cloud Firewall Configuration and the adaptability of Cloud Firewall Features during the trial period, ensuring that the final Cloud Firewall Configuration enables efficient matching between Website Cloud Firewall and the Cloud Firewall Solution, delivering optimal protection results.

Q: After applying for the Cloud Firewall Trial, can users experience the core Cloud Firewall Features of Website Cloud Firewall, and does the trial service align with the core logic of Cloud Firewall Solutions?

A: After applying for the Cloud Firewall Trial, users can comprehensively experience the core Cloud Firewall Features of Website Cloud Firewall, including key capabilities such as real-time attack interception, basic access control, and log analysis, while also familiarizing themselves with the basic operational procedures of Cloud Firewall Configuration. The core logic of the Cloud Firewall Trial is consistent with the official Cloud Firewall Solutions, both designed around the core objectives of Website Cloud Firewall: "boundary protection, unified management, and log auditing." Through the trial, users can not only verify whether the Cloud Firewall Features meet their business requirements but also anticipate the adaptability of the Cloud Firewall Solution in advance. Furthermore, during the trial, users can intuitively experience the performance of Website Cloud Firewall in terms of cloud-native characteristics such as multi-tenancy and elastic scalability, providing important references for subsequently selecting a formal Cloud Firewall Solution and optimizing Cloud Firewall Configuration.
