Managing virtual firewalls involves configuring, monitoring, and maintaining multiple isolated firewall instances within a single physical device. It includes defining security policies, access controls, and traffic rules for each virtual firewall to ensure tenant isolation in multi-tenant environments.
Firewalls must keep pace as hosted environments become increasingly virtualized. Every customer of a service provider demands both security and privacy for their hosted servers and services. Since service providers manage multiple customers in a shared infrastructure (multi-tenant environment), they must ensure that each customer’s security remains uncompromised. Traditionally, this would require dedicating a separate firewall for each customer. However, as the number of customers grows, adding more physical firewall hardware becomes impractical. Instead, service providers are turning to Virtual Firewalls, which allow multiple isolated firewall instances to run on a single physical firewall device. These virtual firewalls operate independently, providing the same level of security as dedicated hardware while optimizing resources. As a result, virtual firewalls have gained widespread adoption among service providers.
Managing virtual firewalls across distributed environments can be complex without the right visibility and control. Firewall Analyzer simplifies virtual firewall management by providing a centralized platform to monitor, analyze, and optimize firewall policies across multi-cloud and virtualized network infrastructures.
For service providers, the next major challenge is finding the right monitoring solution—one that ensures strict privacy compliance in a multi-tenant environment. This is where Firewall Analyzer comes into play. It seamlessly supports logs from virtual firewalls, enabling service providers to deliver individualized firewall reports and alerts to each customer through a user-based client view. This ensures complete isolation and privacy while effectively meeting customer security requirements. Firewall Analyzer now supports logs from virtual firewalls (context/VDOM) in Cisco, FortiGate, and Check Point devices, with no additional configuration needed. The application automatically detects logs from virtual firewalls and treats each one as a separate entity, generating dedicated reports, alerts, and insights. This capability is ideal for enterprises, MSPs, and MSSPs operating in multi-vendor, multi-tenant environments, ensuring seamless and secure virtual firewall management across multiple vendors.
