About the Book
Build a modern, AI ready firewall program that protects cloud, data center, Kubernetes, remote users, and the edge with precision and clarity.
Attackers move fast, encryption is everywhere, and networks span on premises, multiple clouds, and edge sites. Old perimeter models and port based rules cannot keep up, and teams need a dependable way to apply Zero Trust, reduce noise, and respond quickly without breaking the business.
This book shows how to design, deploy, and operate next generation firewalls that fit today's architectures. You will learn how AI raises detection fidelity, how identity and application context drive policy, and how to express controls as code so they stay consistent across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
understand the evolution from traditional firewalls to ngfws and why dpi, application awareness, and identity based policy matter
apply zero trust with microsegmentation, continuous verification, and least privilege rules tied to users, devices, and services
deploy cloud firewalls on aws, azure, and google cloud including transit designs, egress control, and vpc service controls
integrate ngfws with sase platforms for remote access, acceptable use controls, and cloud delivered security services
secure kubernetes with cni aware policies, service mesh alignment, and runtime protection at ingress, egress, and east west
use advanced threat prevention, ips signatures, sandboxing, tls decryption strategies, and dns based c2 disruption
implement network segmentation and microsegmentation with software defined controls and zero trust network access
treat policy as code with automation pipelines, terraform and api driven changes, and dynamic policy adaptation by context
connect logs to your siem, build actionable analytics, fuse threat intelligence, and tune high signal detections
design for availability and scale with clustering, load balancing, autoscaling in cloud, and tested failover and dr
secure hybrid and edge networks, align sd wan with ngfw enforcement, and protect iot and ot devices at the edge
work effectively with the soc, enable safe automated containment, and prepare for quantum safe encryption and upcoming ai trends
This is a code forward guide. Concise, working examples in Python, Bash, YAML, JSON, and SQL show policy as code, SIEM pipelines, behavioral analytics, and automated response you can adapt to real environments.
