ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access)

Faas means Firewall as a Service. You can use the firewall as a hardware appliance (physical computer in your network), as a virtual appliance (still a computer, but it's running in the cloud), or you can pay for a firewall as a service. It means you are not responsible for the firewall itself. Instead, your provider is making sure it's running and secure; you are just specifying what it should be doing. An example is Azure Firewall.

A Blocklist is a cybersecurity tool used to protect websites from malicious actors. It works by blocking access to sites that have been identified as potential threats, keeping them from accessing sensitive data and compromising the security of users. By using an Blocklist/Blacklist, businesses can proactively guard against attackers and keep their networks safe. It's designed for easy setup and use, allowing for quick and secure protection of customer data.

802.1x Access Control List (ACL) is a security protocol that enables secure access to networks, devices and applications. It is used to control access by allowing or denying certain types of traffic at the user level. ACLs can be used to identify, authenticate and authorize users, allowing them access only to specific resources they are authorized to use. It helps protect against unauthorized access, data theft and malicious activity on networks. Use of 802.1x ACL provides an extra layer of protection for data and resources within a network environment.

IP stands for Internet Protocol, which is the set of rules that makes it possible for devices to communicate over the Internet. With billions of people accessing the Internet every day, unique identifiers are necessary to keep track of who is doing what. The Internet Protocol solves this by assigning IP numbers to every device accessing the Internet. Every assigned number is an IP address.

SD-WAN provides an innovative solution to modern cyber security threats. It stands for Software Defined Wide Area Network and is a secure, virtual network that enables organizations to securely connect their remote offices, users and cloud applications with increased bandwidth and improved performance. SD-WAN leverages cloud technologies such as encryption and authentication to protect data from unauthorized access. It also allows for more efficient use of available bandwidth by balancing traffic across multiple connection lines. As a result, organizations can benefit from better reliability, cost savings and enhanced flexibility in managing their network connections. In addition to providing greater control of user access, SD-WAN can help protect against cyber attacks by minimizing the attack surface, while providing quick response times in the event of a security breach or attack.
