Introduction

You can deploy Forcepoint NGFW in the Microsoft Azure cloud to provide VPN connectivity, access control, and inspection for networks in the Azure cloud.

After deployment, you can manage NGFW Engines in the Azure cloud using the Management Client component of the Forcepoint NGFW Security Management Center (SMC) in the same way as other NGFW Engines.

Important: Networking in Microsoft Azure is significantly different compared to traditional networking. Deploying Forcepoint NGFW in the Microsoft Azure cloud requires familiarity with networking in Microsoft Azure.
