Vodafone Idea’s enterprise arm Vi Business launches new security offering ‘Vi Cloud Firewall’ for businesses

Vodafone Idea’s (Vi) enterprise arm Vi Business in partnership with Firstwave Cloud Technology has launched a new security offering, ‘Vi Cloud Firewall’, a cloud-deployed security solution for enterprises.

According to the telecom operator, Firstwave Cloud Technology helped design Vi Cloud Firewalls for Vi’s OpenStack RedHat Cloud environment, managed using Firewave’s cloud content security platform (CCSP). The Firewall solution is powered by Palo Alto Networks VM-Series Virtual Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) technology. The new security offering comes with new firewall features like a gateway, antivirus, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection, secure virtual private network (VPN), data loss prevention, content filtering, real-time intelligence, amongst others.

Furthermore, the deployment of this network-based solution will require zero capex, zero-touch, and will eliminate the need for an on-premise infrastructure for enterprises to set up and run.
