The VM-Series firewall in AWS melds the security and IT logistics required to consistently and reliably protect devices used by mobile users in regions where you do not have a presence. By deploying the VM-Series firewall in the AWS cloud, you can quickly and easily deploy GlobalProtect™ gateways in any region without the expense or IT logistics that are typically required to set up this infrastructure using your own resources.
To minimize latency, select AWS regions that are closest to your users, deploy the VM-Series firewalls on EC2 instances, and configure the firewalls as GlobalProtect gateways. With this solution, the GlobalProtect gateways in the AWS cloud enforce security policy for internet traffic so there is no need to backhaul that traffic to the corporate network. Additionally, for access to resources on the corporate network, the VM-Series firewalls in AWS leverage the LSVPN functionality to establish IPSec tunnels back to the firewall on the corporate network.
For ease of deployment and centralized management of this distributed infrastructure, use Panorama to configure the GlobalProtect components used in this solution. Optionally, to ensure that mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, are safe for use on your network, use a Mobile Device Manager to configure and manage mobile devices.
To block risky applications and protect mobile users from malware, you must set up the GlobalProtect infrastructure, which includes the GlobalProtect portal, the GlobalProtect gateway, and the GlobalProtect app. Additionally, for access to corporate resources, you must set up an IPSec VPN connection between the VM-Series firewalls in AWS and the firewall in the corporate headquarters using LSVPN (a hub and spoke VPN deployment).
