The STACKIT Unified Firewall enables centralized management of firewall rules across all virtual networks and subnets. Instead of decentralized security group configurations, the Unified Firewall provides a unified security policy for entire STACKIT projects.
Features
- Central Rule Management: Manage all firewall rules in one place
- Project-wide: Unified policies for all networks in the STACKIT project
- Stateful Inspection: Connection tracking for inbound and outbound traffic
- IDS/IPS Integration: Optional intrusion detection and prevention
- Logging: Complete logging of all firewall decisions
Typical Use Cases
Regulated Industries: Banks and healthcare organizations require demonstrable network segmentation. The Unified Firewall delivers central rules with a complete audit trail.
Multi-Tier Architectures: Web, application, and database tiers are separated by unified firewall rules, without decentralized security group configurations on each resource.
Benefits
- GDPR-compliant: All network data in German data centers
- Centralized: One rule set instead of decentralized security groups
- Compliance-ready: Audit logs for ISO 27001 and BSI Grundschutz
- Consistent: Unified policies across all network segments
