A firewall service built directly into a cloud provider's infrastructure (AWS Network Firewall, Azure Firewall, GCP Cloud Firewall) or delivered as a cloud-based firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS). Cloud-native firewalls provide network segmentation, threat prevention, and traffic inspection without requiring virtual appliances. They scale automatically with cloud workloads and integrate with cloud-native logging and management tools.
Traditional firewall appliances do not map well to cloud environments where workloads are dynamic and ephemeral. Security engineers deploy cloud-native firewalls as part of cloud network security architecture. Security architects select between cloud provider firewalls and third-party FWaaS based on inspection capabilities and multi-cloud requirements. Understanding cloud-native network security is essential for cloud security roles.
