What is Firewall as a Service (FaaS)?

Firewall as a Service (FaaS) is a fully managed, scalable and modular security solution that protects your network infrastructure, no matter the topology. Our fully managed security stack delivers the power of open source with the convenience of a dedicated managed service.

With no licence costs or hardware lifecycle to manage, you can consume FaaS with a simple monthly payment, and no long contracts.

Whether deployed on dedicated hardware at your edge, hosted centrally within our core network, or as a virtual cloud solution, FaaS adapts to your unique security and operational needs.

FaaS integrates seamlessly with our Ultimate Internet and Network as a Service products, enhancing your organisation's connectivity and security posture.
