Overview of Firewalls in Utho Cloud Platform

A Firewall in the Utho Cloud Platform is a security feature designed to control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. It acts as a barrier between a trusted internal network and untrusted external networks, preventing unauthorized access while allowing legitimate communication.

Common Uses of Firewalls

• Network Security: Firewalls are used to secure cloud resources by filtering traffic and allowing or blocking communication based on security rules.
• Access Control: They help manage access to specific cloud resources, ensuring that only authorized users or applications can connect.
• Protecting Virtual Machines: By configuring firewalls, users can protect virtual machines from malicious attacks and unauthorized access.
• Traffic Filtering: Firewalls inspect traffic for malicious content and block harmful requests to safeguard cloud infrastructure.
• Remote Access Control: Firewalls can be used to manage and restrict remote access to cloud services, ensuring secure connections from trusted networks.
