About

Stop the lateral spread of threats across multi-cloud environments with a software-based Layer 7 firewall distributed at each workload. Threat actors moving throughout your infrastructure and increasingly sophisticated ransomware attacks make east-west the new battleground. Get the advantage with a software-defined Layer 7 firewall that delivers granular enforcement at scale to secure east-west traffic across today’s multi-cloud world. Easily segment the network, stop the lateral spread of threats, and securely move at the speed of development on your path to Zero Trust. Gain visibility across all network flows to easily achieve granular micro-segmentation and generate context-aware policies for each workload. Reduce the attack surface and defend against known and unknown threats moving within and across clouds with a modern, distributed firewall solution that is purpose-built to secure multi-cloud traffic across virtualized workloads.

About

The pfSense project is a free network firewall distribution, based on the FreeBSD operating system with a custom kernel and including third party free software packages for additional functionality. pfSense software, with the help of the package system, is able to provide the same functionality or more of common commercial firewalls, without any of the artificial limitations. It has successfully replaced every big name commercial firewall you can imagine in numerous installations around the world, including Check Point, Cisco PIX, Cisco ASA, Juniper, Sonicwall, Netgear, Watchguard, Astaro, and more.
