Stateful Perimeter Security

Distributed Line-Rate Protection. Zero Server Overhead.

Neviri Cloud Firewalls provide stateful network inspection at the hypervisor layer. Filter inbound request flows, restrict outbound database egress, and drop attack traffic before it ever touches your compute nodes.

Stateful Firewalls vs. Operating System Filters

Software firewalls (like UFW or iptables) run directly inside the VM's OS. When an attack hits, the server's CPU and RAM are wasted parsing, validating, and dropping those malicious packets. A severe Denial of Service (DoS) attack will crash the OS before your app can even receive clean traffic.

Neviri Cloud Firewalls operate at the **hypervisor network interface layer** (vNIC), completely external to your virtual machines. Packets are evaluated at our hardware boundary:

  • Zero CPU impact on your VMs during high traffic spikes
  • Centralized control to avoid firewall configurations drift
  • Stateful awareness: Outbound pings automatically open responses

Stateful Cloud Firewall Features

We have abstracted away server-level iptables calculations. Secure port structures and govern global networks from a unified plane.

Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)

Evaluates connections based on context. Initiating outbound requests (like API pings) dynamically opens return paths, eliminating tedious bidirectional rule definitions.

Hardware Edge Dropping

Eval is executed at the hypervisor network interface layer before traffic hits your VM. Protects your CPU/RAM cycles from brute-force botnets completely.

Micro-Segmented Tags

Assign firewalls directly to security tags (e.g. 'Production-Web') instead of shifting static IP ranges. Newly spun-up nodes inherit rules automatically.

Granular Rule Control

Define inbound and outbound limits on specific ports (SSH 22, TCP/UDP, HTTP 80/443) based on IP address subnets, CIDR ranges, or logical clusters.

Zero-Lockout Console

Accidentally blocked your IP? Manage edge settings externally from our web dashboard. Restore connections immediately with zero data risk.

Line-Rate Throughput

Evaluations happen directly within Neviri's hardware network routing switches. Evaluates a single packet or thousands with identical sub-millisecond latency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about stateful evaluation latency, team permission overrides, and security group tags.

No. Neviri Cloud Firewalls do not rely on software-defined routing layers running inside shared compute spaces. The packet analysis is processed directly within our hardware-accelerated networking plane. Packets are evaluated at line-rate speeds, meaning your network latency remains identical whether you have 1 rule active or 100 rules active.

Because Neviri handles infrastructure control externally, you can never permanently lock yourself out of management systems. If you accidentally write an inbound rule that blocks your own IP address from SSH access, simply log into the centralized Neviri Cloud dashboard from any web browser, locate the firewall attached to your instance, delete or modify the restrictive rule, and the access updates globally within seconds.

Yes. This is the recommended operational methodology on Neviri. You can create a reusable security policy called 'Production-Web-Sec-Group.' Any time you provision a new Neviri VM or scale out your application tier horizontally, you simply apply that security group tag to the new resource. The server instantly inherits the entire suite of security rules automatically.

They serve as complementary security layers. Your VPC establishes a private, isolated network perimeter where servers can interact without public visibility. The Cloud Firewall operates within that private network to regulate which private servers can talk to each other, introducing true micro-segmentation and preventing a breach in one application node from compromising your entire network grid.
