About

MacStadium offers a variety of Cisco® firewalls to protect the cloud environment. The portfolio includes several physical and virtual appliance choices, which exceed all security and performance requirements.

Overview

Cisco Firepower and Cisco Secure Firewall ASA Virtual offerings deliver scalable VPN capability to access MacStadium resources, as well as, protect workloads against increasingly complex threats with world-class security controls.
To provision Firewalls in the MacStadium account, please contact sales.
The following capabilities are available with Cisco firewalls:
  • Access and manage the firewall as the root user (root access).
  • Leverage Cisco AnyConnect for secure remote user access.
  • Filter any Internet and internal traffic real-time. For example, pass traffic from selected IPs or IP ranges (like a Jenkins master) and block all other traffic.
  • Connect local infrastructure to the MacStadium private cloud through secure remote network or site-to-site encrypted Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnels.
  • Connect a public cloud, such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, to the MacStadium private cloud through secure remote network or site-to-site encrypted Virtual Private Network (VPN) tunnels.
  • Perform packet inspection, port blocking, and breach protection.
  • Configure high availability and failover.
  • Limit access to approved users to ensure complete access control.

Custom Hardware or Hybrid Solutions

To host a firewall in a MacStadium data center, contact MacStadium Sales to discuss requirements, available options, and involvement from the MacStadium engineering team. You can access any enabled firewall add-ons from the MacStadium Portal under the Add-Ons tab in the details.

Other options

Based on your specific requirements, you may choose to forgo the available Cisco ASAv and ASA options and implement another solution, such as the built-in OS X firewall or a third-party software firewall.
MacStadium does not provide assistance with the setup, management, and troubleshooting of these solutions. MacStadium is not responsible for any security risks incurred by such implementations.
