Introduction:

Cloud-based firewalls, along with threat prevention capabilities (including intrusion detection and prevention systems) are key to securing ever-changing organization perimeters. This webcast provides guidance on the key issues to consider when choosing cloud-based firewall/threat prevention solutions for integration on the AWS platform and suggests a process for making that important decision.

Join us and gain practical knowledge on how to evaluate and select effective cloud-based firewalls.

Attendees will learn how:

  • Cloud design considerations affecting the selection and use of next-generation firewalls and threat protection capabilities
  • Needs and capabilities associated with firewalls and threat prevention capabilities, including intrusion prevention, antivirus, logging and alerting, event correlation, continuous dynamic updating of threat databases and malware protection
  • Key business, technical and operational considerations for cloud-based firewall protection
  • Key AWS-specific considerations for perimeter security that address firewalls and threat prevention
  • Process for making an informed decision about products to integrate

Who Should Attend?

Security practitioners (Security Analysts, Security Architects, Senior Security Engineers, etc.), Cloud Security Architects, and the office of the CISO.
