Introduction

You can deploy Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud to provide VPN connectivity, access control, and inspection for services in the AWS cloud.

Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall (Forcepoint NGFW) is available in the Amazon marketplace as an Amazon machine image (AMI) that allows you to run a Forcepoint NGFW Engine instance in Amazon EC2. You deploy Forcepoint NGFW Engines in the same way as other virtual machines in Amazon EC2.
