How It Works
Common Uses
Detect and prevent advanced threats
Inline Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
Cloud Firewall Plus offers a cloud-first, market-leading, easy to deploy Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). It helps prevent malware, spyware, and command-and-control attacks on your network by inspecting both TLS and non-TLS traffic.
Secure traffic based on domain names
Domain name (FQDN) based objects
Achieve advanced protection with dynamic policies that filter traffic from domains, even as the underlying IP addresses change.

Geo-location objects
Simplify the process of managing traffic to designated countries without the need to specify individual IP addresses.

Threat Intelligence for Cloud Firewall
Block traffic based on curated lists of threat intelligence data, such as known malicious IPs and domains. Allow public IPs that your service uses. These lists are managed by Google Cloud and aggregate data from various Google, third-party, and open-source feeds.

Firewall policies and IAM-governed tags
Tags provide built-in IAM governance for firewall policies. Each tag has granular controls to determine which users can create, modify, and bind individual tags. Combined with network firewall policies, these features help increase policy precision and simplify rule creation to deliver micro-segmentation.

Hierarchical firewall policies
Network firewall policies let you group multiple firewall rules, apply batch updates, and control access to these rules with Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles. Hierarchical Firewall Policies can be applied at the organization and folder level, and Global and Regional Network Firewall Policies can be applied at the VPC level.
