Firewall

Introduction​

A firewall is a security product that filters out malicious traffic. Traditionally, firewalls have run in between a trusted internal network and an untrusted network – e.g., between a private network and the Internet.

With E2E Network Firewall, you can define firewall rules that provide fine-grained control over network traffic. Network Firewall works together with E2E Firewall Manager so you can build policies based on Network Firewall rules and then centrally apply those policies across your virtual private clouds (VPC) and accounts.

  • After you log in to the E2E Networks ‘My Account’.
