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.
