Are you curious about the new enhancements in Cloud NAT? Have you explored Cloud NGFW Enterprise? In this blog we dive into both of these topics with informative video demos on both that you can watch at any time.

# 1- Cloud NAT and NGFWs

Cloud NAT and Cloud NGFW are Google Cloud’s distributed cloud-managed network security services. Together they offer a comprehensive network security solution. Their integration allows for granular control of egress traffic, including allowing or denying access based on destination address and ports.

The video talks about this integration for both first and third-party NGFWs. It also has a very clear demo done by a networking specialist that shows how easy it is to configure and get running in the cloud environment.

# 2 - Advanced Networking Demo series: Cloud NGFW

In many environments, the topic of intrusion prevention systems is very important. At Google Cloud Next, we announced the general availability of the Cloud NGFW offering in Essential, Standard and Enterprise editions. Cloud NGFW Enterprise offers layer 7 capabilities and is integrated with Palo Alto Networks advanced threat detection and TLS inspection, which is easy to configure.

This video talks about the feature set and provides a very clear demo about configuring it and getting it running in the cloud environment.
