The VM-Series virtualized next-generation firewall allows developers, and cloud security architects to automate and deploy inline firewall and threat prevention along with their application deployment workflows. Users can achieve ‘touchless’ deployment of advanced firewall, threat prevention capabilities using ARM templates, native Azure services, and VM-Series firewall automation features such as bootstrapping. Auto-scaling using Azure VMSS and tag-based dynamic security policies are supported using the Panorama Plugin for Azure.

Protect your applications and data with whitelisting and segmentation policies. Policies update dynamically based on Azure tags assigned to application VMs, allowing you to reduce the attack surface area and achieve compliance. The threat prevention feature helps you block threats and stop data exfiltration. Manage firewall policies centrally with Panorama (purchased separately), alongside our physical firewall appliances to maintain security policies that are consistent with on-premises environments. Lastly, this VM-series Edge Azure Application is ready to secure 5G by enforcing security within a GTP-U tunneled User Plane traffic on N3 interface and on the internet perimeter N6 interface of the Azure Private 5G network functions within Azure Stack Edge deployments.
