Hillstone
Networks, a leading provider of network security solutions, today
announced the new Hillstone virtual firewall solution, CloudEdge, based
on its Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) technology, is now available on
Amazon Web Services (AWS) in standard
and advanced
editions. Hillstone CloudEdge is deployed as an Amazon Virtual Private
Cloud (Amazon VPC) gateway to provide an additional layer of
comprehensive security protection for AWS customers. The Hillstone
virtual solution integrates with multiple security services, including
firewall security, application visibility and identification, VPN, IPS,
QoS, SLB, and attack protection, to ensure security for cloud
deployments.
New features and benefits from Hillstone Networks include:
-
Dedicated Cloud Security Isolation: Hillstone Networks’
CloudEdge inspects all traffic flowing across the Amazon VPC;
unauthorized access attempts are prevented based on user and
application identification and control.
-
AWS Service and Reliability: Hillstone supports Amazon VPC
service maintenance through the integration of a snapshot backup of
CloudEdge, enabling rapid restoration of virtual firewall services
with the most current configuration, in the unlikely event of an
appliance failure or system crash.
-
Flexible and Affordable: Hillstone provides granular control
based on applications, offers comprehensive reports on Amazon VPC
traffic, and helps AWS users achieve the lowest cost for network
security.
Hillstone Networks’ CloudEdge allows users to provision firewall
security whenever and wherever it is needed, and is an ideal solution
for protecting their networks. In addition to most of the networking
services common to Hillstone’s hardware-based appliances, CloudEdge
offers:
-
North-South Traffic Inspection to provide the VPC network with
dedicated security isolation via policy control, as well as granular
access control, QoS, VPN, IPS and server load balancing to guarantee
business continuity.
-
IPSec VPN and SCVPN for endpoint and hybrid-cloud.
Standards-based site-to-site VPN connections are established between
the corporate local network, branches and the AWS virtual service.
-
Server load balancing, helping businesses establish an Amazon
Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance.
