Cyber attacks are constantly evolving, and traditional firewalls are not enough to protect modern infrastructure. That's why SWHosting offers a Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) or Layer 7, fully integrable from your SWPanel, which allows you to control and protect your network at the application level.
A Layer 7 Firewall operates at the application level, analysing the content of each data packet entering or leaving your network. This allows you to:
Filter traffic based on applications and services
Control the use of specific URLs and protocols
Detect malware and advanced threats
Monitor SSL-encrypted traffic and apply sandboxing
Supervise both incoming and outgoing data
This deep inspection ensures that even attacks hidden in encrypted connections are detected and blocked, something that traditional firewalls cannot achieve.
SWPanel, SWHosting's control panel, allows you to activate and manage the firewall in a simple and centralised manner. Its main features include:
Two-way protection: filters incoming and outgoing traffic, preventing both external attacks and the spread of threats from compromised servers.
Real-time monitoring: access statistics, alerts, and threat maps directly from the panel.
Flexible configuration: sensitivity settings to adapt protection to the needs of your infrastructure.
Automated reports: generation of periodic reports on security and detected threats.
With SWPanel, all this is done without the need for advanced networking knowledge, making it easy for any user to keep their infrastructure secure.
Get the most out of your project with the fastest disks and most powerful CPUs in the Cloud.
Advanced threat detection: identifies malware, zero-day attacks, and hidden malicious traffic.
Granular control of applications and users: decide which applications or services can access the network.
Comprehensive network protection: monitors both incoming and outgoing data, preventing exfiltration.
Constant updates: the threat database is kept up to date to respond to new vulnerabilities.
SWHosting's Next Generation Firewall (Layer 7), managed from SWPanel, offers comprehensive, easy-to-use protection designed to meet modern security challenges. Activating this protection is key for any business seeking to keep its infrastructure secure and its data protected.
Recommended action: check your SWPanel, activate the Next-Generation Firewall, and configure the protection according to your network's needs to keep your infrastructure secure at all times.
