Inspect traffic at Layer 7 to enforce policies based on application behavior and request context

Threat Prevention

Identify suspicious traffic patterns and block malicious connections before they reach protected services

Traffic Segmentation

Restrict communication between services and environments to reduce lateral movement risks

Protect Distributed Infrastructure Without Hardware Firewalls

Trafficmind Firewall as a Service delivers centralized Layer 3–7 enforcement across distributed environments, helping teams apply consistent policy, reduce appliance sprawl, and simplify security operations across branches, cloud workloads, and hybrid infrastructure.

Always-on protection

Trafficmind rolls out signature and policy updates using connection drains, controlled canary deployment, and automatic rollback to keep protections current while minimizing disruption to active sessions.

Low latency, high availability

Anycast routing, local points of presence, and connection pinning are designed to preserve low-latency, durable connectivity for distributed applications and user traffic, including under sudden demand shifts.

Managed operations

Trafficmind’s security team monitors threat signals, manages incident response, tunes controls, and provides reporting aligned with governance, operational, and audit requirements.

Policy-driven security

Identity-aware access policies connect users, devices, branches, and cloud environments while reducing unauthorized lateral exposure across private networks.

Cloud-Delivered Firewall Enforcement Across Layers 3–7

Trafficmind FWaaS provides cloud-delivered inspection and policy enforcement across network, transport, application, and encrypted traffic layers to help teams control access, reduce exposure, and apply consistent security across distributed environments.

Network Policy

Apply controls by IP, subnet, protocol, and port to govern connectivity across branches, workloads, services, and customer environments.

Stateful Firewalling

Use session-aware enforcement across TCP and UDP traffic to improve control over connection behavior and traffic handling.

Application-Aware Policy

Apply rules based on service and application context to improve enforcement precision across modern traffic flows.

Encrypted Traffic Inspection

Use TLS visibility and inspection to strengthen control over encrypted traffic and reduce blind spots.

DNS-Layer Enforcement

Block malicious domains, risky destinations, and suspicious resolution patterns at the DNS layer.

URL and Category Filtering

Apply web access controls using category, reputation, and policy-based filtering.

Collaborative Protection Model

Layer-Separated DDoS Protection

Trafficmind separates traffic analysis from enforcement layers, allowing threats to be detected, classified, and mitigated across multiple stages of the protection pipeline.

Layer 7 Protection

At the application layer, behavioral analysis and machine-learning models analyze high-cardinality traffic signals using telemetry to detect abnormal request patterns in real time.

Layer 4 Protection

At the network layer, malicious packets are filtered at the header level before reaching kernel or application resources, reducing processing overhead and limiting attack propagation.

Incoming traffic

Traffic from

Traffic originating from legitimate users, automated services, IoT devices, and potential malicious sources.

BGP

Border Router

L3 filtering

Route validation, fragment filtering, and packet sanity checks block malformed or suspicious network traffic early

Secure Router

L3 and L4

Rate-limit enforcement and flood protection mitigate volumetric attacks targeting transport protocols

L3 / L4

NGFW

L4 and L7

Traffic inspection engines apply reputation feeds, behavioral analysis, and threat intelligence policies

L4 / L7

Security Appliance

L7 Filtering

Application-layer protection enforces WAF rules, API security policies, and OWASP-aligned controls

Clean Traffic

Validated traffic is securely forwarded to the customer’s infrastructure and services.

Inspect Traffic with More Context and Control

Trafficmind combines stateful enforcement with protocol-aware inspection to help teams identify abnormal traffic patterns, limit policy gaps, and enforce security controls across distributed traffic flows.

Transport and Session Controls

Track connection state and enforce policy across TCP and UDP sessions.

Protocol Anomaly Handling

Detect malformed or abnormal traffic behavior designed to bypass or stress security controls.

DNS and Destination Controls

Restrict access to high-risk domains, suspicious lookups, and unauthorized destinations.

Encrypted Traffic Visibility

Improve inspection coverage for modern traffic patterns protected by TLS.

Deployment That Fits Real Networks

Trafficmind FWaaS supports practical attachment models for provider networks, multi-site environments, cloud-connected estates, and hybrid infrastructure.

Global policy management

Deploy centralized firewall enforcement across modern network environments with flexible attachment options

Branch and Campus Connectivity

Apply centralized firewall policy across offices, campuses, and distributed sites.

Cloud and Multi-Cloud Enforcement

Protect workloads and egress paths across public cloud environments with consistent policy.

Data Center and Hybrid Attachment

Extend enforcement into hybrid environments where cloud-delivered policy must work alongside existing infrastructure.

SD-WAN, GRE, and IPsec Compatibility

Integrate with current routing and connectivity models while preserving operational flexibility.

Centralized Visibility and Audit-Ready Operations

Trafficmind provides the visibility and controls teams need to manage firewall policy consistently, review events, and support audit and compliance workflows across distributed environments.

Trafficmind analyzes traffic, proposes policy refinements, and quantifies their impact. Teams can apply or roll back changes in one click, export audit-ready evidence, and drill into any session to review full flow logs.

Policy Lifecycle and Change Safety

Trafficmind applies policy changes using controlled deployment methods designed to protect active sessions and reduce operational risk.

Connection Drains

Active sessions are permitted to complete gracefully when firewall policy updates affect existing flows. Connection draining reduces disruption by preventing abrupt termination of established traffic while new rules take effect.

Canary Rollouts

Firewall policy changes are validated on a limited portion of traffic before wider enforcement. Gradual rollout helps identify unintended behavior early and supports safer deployment across production environments.

Automatic Rollback

Previously stable configurations are restored automatically if a newly deployed rule introduces unexpected traffic disruption or operational risk. Rapid rollback preserves service continuity while policy issues are investigated.

Safe-Mode Bypass

Connectivity is preserved during rare policy edge cases or unexpected rule interactions. Temporary bypass mechanisms maintain availability while administrators review and correct the configuration.
