Corsa Security, a turnkey virtualization platform provider, has introduced a firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS) offering for MSSPs, according to a prepared statement.
MSSPs can offer FWaaS as a substitute for physical firewalls, Corsa indicated. In doing so, they can simultaneously deliver an unlimited number of virtual firewalls and lower their network operations costs.
What Does Corsa's FWaaS Offer?
FWaaS provides automated virtualization of hardware firewalls and zero-touch network security operations, Corsa said. It is built on a secure access service edge (SASE) framework, offers push-button provisioning and integrates with firewall license and policy management systems.
In addition, FWaaS supports multi-tenancy, and MSSPs can offer specific services and capacity to customers and integrate the platform with security operations center (SOC) monitoring, billing and inventory tools, the company noted. MSSPs also can manage FWaaS via the Corsa Security Orchestrator virtual infrastructure manager.
Other FWaaS Offerings Available
Along with Corsa, other cybersecurity companies deliver FWaaS, including:
FWaaS can provide greater deployment flexibility and scalability than physical firewalls, and they have become increasingly important for organizations that want to optimize security across applications and networks used by remote workers during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. As such, the demand for FWaaS and the number of FWaaS offerings available to MSSPs may increase in the years to come.
