Purpose
Section titled “Purpose”The Unified Firewall exists to solve the problem of decentralized security management. It moves away from the current fragmented approach of navigating multiple interfaces for different resources, reducing complexity and the risk of security incidents caused by misconfiguration.
Key Features
Section titled “Key Features”- Centralized Security Dashboard: Aggregates all project firewall rules into a single view, eliminating the need to navigate multiple interfaces.
- Rule Creation Wizard: Includes pre-defined templates for common scenarios to streamline rule creation.
- Automated Scaling: Ensures the firewall handles increasing traffic volumes and complex rule sets without impacting application performance.
- Single-Pane-of-Glass Visibility: clear visual representation of rules and their impact on your infrastructure.
- API-First Design: Built on a robust API using GoLang, supporting full CRUD capabilities for automation.
Benefits
Section titled “Benefits”- Simplified Management: A unified interface reduces operational overhead and improves the overall customer experience12.
- Enhanced Transparency: Project owners gain a transparent view of their security posture, facilitating better decision-making1313.
- Cost Efficiency: UFW is currently offered as a free tier service to enhance the value of the STACKIT platform1414.
- Scalability: Built on OnePaaS architecture and Kubernetes to ensure performance and seamless integration with the STACKIT ecosystem15.
