FWaaS Providers: Top Picks for Every Network Security Scenario

Firewalls-as-a-Service (FWaaS) are revolutionizing network security by moving inspection, policy, and threat prevention into the cloud. This allows every user and site to have the same protection without the need for physical appliances to size, patch, or refresh.

CyberPress analyzed eight FWaaS providers and matched each to a specific situation where they genuinely fit. The top picks include Cato Networks for mid-market buyers seeking a single-vendor solution, Zscaler for large enterprises with users worldwide, and Fortinet (FortiSASE) for organizations with existing FortiGate estates.

Other notable mentions include Twingate for small teams starting with VPN replacement, Cisco (Secure Access) for Cisco-standardized enterprises, Open Systems for managed SASE, and Palo Alto Networks (Prisma Access) for security-mature enterprises.
