Virtualized environments in public or private clouds require advanced protection from threats that is equivalent to the protection given on physical servers. With the Stormshield Network Security for Cloud application, Microsoft Azure clients can now control and ensure the security of their cloud environments. All the multi-level security features that have contributed to the success of Stormshield products are available in this dedicated application. The Stormshield Network Security for Cloud application is identical to the existing Stormshield virtual appliances. For a seamless transition to the cloud, all the advanced security features on our physical and virtual appliances will be available. Stormshield Network Security for Cloud allows protecting your application, server and virtual networks hosted in Microsoft Azure. All the multi-level security features (firewall, IPS, vulnerability manager, application control) that have contributed to the success of Stormshield products are available in this dedicated application. Thanks to a VPN connection set up between a Stormshield appliance installed onsite and a Stormshield Network Security for Cloud application, a data- center can be safely extended in the cloud to create a private cloud.
