The Problem
The hidden complexity of cloud-native network security
Modern cloud platforms offer native firewalls and NAT gateways — but they’re expensive, inconsistent, and getting more restrictive. Default outbound internet access is being locked down, and maintaining secure, reliable network egress and ingress is becoming a costly engineering task.
From March 2026, new Azure virtual networks will no longer include default internet access. Outbound traffic will require a NAT Gateway, load balancer, or public IP — all of which incur extra costs (around $4/month per IP alone).
AWS and GCP already follow similar pricing models. What used to be free and simple now demands setup and adds hidden cost, even for basic tasks like updates or API calls.
- Cloud-native NATs are expensive and opaque. Usage-based billing and complex routing setups make it hard to control cost and predictability.
- Default internet access is disappearing. Azure, AWS, and GCP are phasing out free outbound internet by default — requiring explicit firewall or NAT configuration.
- Traditional firewalls are overkill for SMEs. Most small and mid-sized cloud environments don’t need full-blown security appliances — they just need safe, managed network policies.
The Solution
The enforza solution: Cloud-managed firewall & NAT without the overhead
- Multi-cloud, single control plane. Manage outbound access, NAT, stateful firewalling, FQDN filtering, port forwarding, in any cloud from a simple cloud UI.
- Fixed pricing: $129 per month per device. No GB data processing fees. No surprises. Control your costs, not just your traffic.
- Works anywhere. Deploy in minutes to any Linux VM using our simple client daemon — no cloud lock-in, no managed service traps.
“enforza helped us regain control of our cloud egress without spending hundreds per month on native NAT gateways. It just works.”
