Cloud server in a German data center

With the cloudshift^® private firewall, our customers have a wide range of options for flexibly and specifically designing their network security. The solution offers comprehensive functions for customizing the protection of your IT infrastructure to your individual needs:

• Creating custom rules: You can define detailed security rules for different network areas to assign specific access rights. This enables you to control data traffic in a targeted manner and block suspicious activities at an early stage.
• Network segmentation: With the private firewall, you can set up and secure various network segments to protect sensitive areas such as internal servers or databases separately from the rest of the network. This allows you to isolate potential threats in a segment without endangering the entire network.
• VPN integration: The firewall supports the integration of virtual private networks (VPNs), so that secure connections can be created for external employees or partners. This ensures that your network remains well protected even during remote access.
• Intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS): The private firewall can be combined with an intrusion detection system (IDS) and an intrusion prevention system (IPS) to detect suspicious patterns in data traffic and automatically initiate countermeasures.
• Logging and monitoring: You receive detailed reports on network traffic and can track security-related events at any time. This not only helps you keep an overview, but also enables you to respond more quickly to potential threats.
• Protection against DDoS attacks: The firewall offers special protection mechanisms to detect and ward off Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks at an early stage. This ensures the availability of your services even in the event of large-scale attack attempts.
• Web Filtering and Application Control: The private firewall not only allows you to block unwanted websites, but also to control access to certain applications. This helps to minimize security risks and increase productivity in the company.
• Automated Security Updates: cloudshift^® ensures that the firewall is regularly updated to protect against the latest threats. This ensures that your security measures are always state of the art.
• Customizable Firewall Profiles: You can create different security profiles for different user groups. This allows access rights to be customized to the specific requirements of administrators, developers, or external service providers, for example.

With these diverse options, cloudshift^®‘s private firewall provides comprehensive protection against cyberattacks and helps you operate your network environment securely and efficiently.
