Deploy cloud-managed firewall appliances in just 3 simple steps and build your unified multi-cloud perimeter.

More control. Less cost. Multi-cloud.

What is enforza?


enforza is a cloud-managed firewall platform that allows you to harness the power of open-source firewall capabilities that are normally reserved for Linux experts using the command line. Complex. Error prone. Specialist skills required.

Our goal is to help you build a unified multi-cloud perimeter with the firewall capabilities you need, with easy cloud management at its core, and be a cost-effective alternative to AWS Network Firewall and Azure Firewall and avoiding hefty data processing charges.

Features

All of the features, none of the hassle

Manage your open-source firewall policies in the cloud without complex and time consuming linux commands.

Easy to use

Fast & simple no-code firewall management in the cloud

Open-source firewalls are known for their robustness and efficiency, but they come with a significant learning curve. With enforza, you no longer need a high level of proficiency in the Linux operating system and network security to leverage the benefits.

Low-cost, high value

Cutting the learning curve and the cost to easy open-source firewall management

Many commercial firewall solutions offer user-friendly graphical interfaces and simpler management tools, making them more accessible to a wider range of users. The drawback of these commercial solutions is they can be costly.

All-in-one

Complete suite for deploying multi-cloud perimeter security

enforza gives access to an enterprise suite of features for a fraction of the cost, by providing an intuitive cloud-management platform for open-source firewalls across all cloud providers and on-premise, for consistent policy management.

FAQs

Your questions, answered.

How much does enforza cost?

enforza has a scalable billing model which enables you to start small and scale up, adding features and capabilities that you need. You make the decision on resilience, logging, security features. Pricing will be announce shortly (Q3/2024)... but will be significantly (up to 90% savings) cheaper than native cloud firewalls such as AWS Firewall and Azure Firewall, and definitely without processing charges or number of IP restrictions.

What features are included with enforza?

We have a range of plans to suit all use cases, ranging from single to unlimited devices, with a range of analytics and telemetry tools, we cater to all Linux firewall needs, compare features or pricing. Note: pricing to be released Q3 2024

What cloud-centric features will be available?

The whole difference with enforza is that we want to be the alternative to cloud-native firewalls (i.e. AWS Firewall and/or Azure Firewalls) with the features you need without paying for the features you don't.

Expect everything you'd want in this cloud era. Our roadmap and backlog is long, rich and we cannot wait to share it with you. But for the minute, our CTO doesn't want to shout about it too much!

First things first, and most importantly, we want to give you a stable and wonderful user experience that we can build on.

How does the firewall and platform communicate?

The enforza agent creates a secure outbound connection (using mTLS) to the platform.

This means that you do not need to poke holes through existing firewalls or expose the firewall to the internet to manage your server.

This enables you to make your firewalls from anywhere, centrally, regardless of their location or cloud provider.

Your firewall also uses secure certificates to send your log and telemetry data to the cloud, encryting everything between your firewall and the platform.

What do I get in the free Early Adopter subscription?

As you are helping us with gathering feedback, we will enable all features and retain your logs for 7 days. If we change this, we will let you know in advance. Early adopters will have access to both X86 and ARM versions of the agent to try on any type of device. We will also allow multiple firewalls to be managed.

Do I need to be experienced with Linux to use enforza?

Not at all. If you can install Linux and log in (via a monitor or via SSH), then you are probably skilled enough to get up and running. It's a simple cut/paste of a single line to kick off the bootstrap installation of the agent - take a look here.

Also, we've made it super easy to automatically provision your firewall in AWS/Azure without logging on to the server. Take a look here.

What is open-source, what is not?

Our mission is to democratize the use of open-source technology. We want people to use, contribute and benefit from the power of open-source security. We make use of (but don't mess with) the stable and powerful packages and capabilities out in the community - i.e. packet filtering, logging technologies, C libraries etc.

What we do is develop the platform, the UI, the logging, the secure interaction, the intellectual property, the software under the hood, the packet engine, the workflows, the APIs, the support, the innovation... all to empower users and enterprises to use the open-source technologies and benefit from lower cost, robustness, security etc. This part of the equation is closed-sourced.

How long do you keep my firewall logs in the cloud?

Depending on subscription type, logs are kept locally on the server for anything between 1 - 7 days. Enterprise & MSSP subscriptions will have 7 - 30 days and options to export to SIEM for further retention and analysis.

Can I use enforza to manage a firewall on an existing server?

Yes. If you have a Linux device that is acting as a server and not a dedicated firewall/router with multiple network interfaces, you can install the enforza agent in exactly the same way and have full control and visibility from the enforza cloud app.

Will enforza allow me to create a dedicated firewall/router?

Yes. If you want a dedicated firewall/router for your environment, you simply install the Linux flavor of your choice, disable the daemons you don't want running, then install the enforza agent in the normal way. This is a common way to have a device solely for network security with the added advantage of being easily managed via the cloud.
