Replacing Your NGFW with Aviatrix DCF
Next Generation Firewalls built excellent security for a world with defined perimeters. Multicloud made that perimeter dynamic, distributed, and elastic. Virtualizing an NGFW and dropping it into AWS, Azure, or GCP doesn't make it cloud native. It makes it a chokepoint. Traffic hairpins through a central hub, costs spike, IP-based policies go stale within minutes, and manual sizing can't keep pace with cloud elasticity. This solution brief makes the case for replacing virtualized NGFWs with an architecture built for how cloud actually works.
What's inside the solution brief
Why virtualizing Fortinet or Check Point for cloud creates four compounding problems: chokepoint architecture, stale IP-based policies, operational complexity at scale, and data transfer costs that consume 40 to 60% of cloud security spend
How Aviatrix DCF enforces security at the workload level across AWS, Azure, and GCP, eliminating traffic hairpinning and reducing data transfer costs by up to 80%
How SmartGroups replace IP-based rules with cloud native identity, so policies stay accurate across dynamic workloads, Kubernetes pod churn, and multicloud environments
Why a phased approach protects your existing NGFW investment: keep NGFWs where they excel on premises, deploy Aviatrix DCF for cloud native workloads, and retire virtual appliances over time
Download the Solution Brief - See how enterprises are replacing virtualized NGFWs with cloud native distributed firewalling, and cutting cloud security costs in the process.

In most cloud and hybrid environments, encryption remains fragmented, hardware-bound, and disconnected from enforcement. Download this solution brief to learn how Aviatrix enforces cloud native, fabric-level, end-to-end (E2E) network encryption across multicloud and hybrid environments by encrypting all data in transit between workloads, regions, clouds, partners, and on-prem.

As enterprises scale across multicloud and hybrid environments, networking teams are forced to stitch together transit gateways, vWANs, firewall appliances, and manual route tables. The result is operational complexity and policy drift.
Secure Third-Party & External Access: Zero Trust Partner Connectivity at Cloud Scale
Modern enterprises depend on third-party connectivity, but most organizations still rely on traditional VPN and firewall-based B2B models that extend broad network trust once a tunnel is established. These legacy solutions introduce security risks, performance limitations, and scaling challenges. Read this solution brief to learn more about how Aviatrix secures third-party and external access with segmented, encrypted, policy-enforced connectivity powered by High-Performance Encryption (HPE).
Zero Trust Networking for Kubernetes at Cloud Scale
Kubernetes has become the foundation for modern application delivery. But as clusters expand across clouds and shared services, network connectivity quickly implies trust, and blast radius grows faster than traditional controls can manage. Most security approaches try to solve this by embedding agents, sidecars, or CNI modifications inside the cluster. That slows developer velocity, complicates upgrades, and introduces new failure domains. Aviatrix takes a fundamentally different approach: enforcing Zero Trust at the cloud network layer, outside the cluster, without touching the application runtime.
Zero Trust Network Segmentation: Enforce Explicit Trust Boundaries Across Cloud Environments
Most organizations already have VPCs, subnet isolation, cloud firewall rules, and Zero Trust initiatives in place. And most still struggle with flat connectivity the moment environments are interconnected, implicit trust across shared services, and segmentation that breaks as infrastructure changes. The problem is not intent. It is enforcement. This solution brief explains how Aviatrix enforces Zero Trust Network Segmentation as a continuous runtime control, not a static network design that erodes the moment your environment scales.
Stop Lateral Movement: Runtime Zero Trust Containment for Cloud Workloads
Cloud breaches rarely cause serious damage at the point of entry. The damage happens after, when attackers move laterally across workloads using valid credentials and trusted network paths that no one is governing. IAM stops unauthorized access. EDR and SIEM detect suspicious activity. But none of them stop movement once an attacker is already inside. This solution brief explains how Aviatrix
