5nine Virtual Firewall is a Virtual Infrastructure monitoring tool with an ability to define network traffic rules for Virtual Machines and harden your Virtual Infrastructure from Hyper-V Security and Compliance perspective. Virtual Firewall allows reviewing network traffic logs for each of the monitored Virtual machines and show related reports.

Virtual firewall for Microsoft Hyper-V works on hypervisor level similar to VMware VMsafe. 5nine Virtual Firewall controls network traffic, detects malicious attacks and improves the security of a virtualized environment.

Special service installed on Microsoft Hyper-V host filters external network traffic coming to/from Virtual Machines, and analyzes related network statistics patterns.

First version of 5nine Virtual Firewall monitors and controls the traffic between Hyper-V Virtual machines and external network (and vise versa). Subsequent versions of the v-Firewall will allow monitoring and filtering traffic between Virtual machines as well.

Features and Benefits:

• Controls Network Traffic – Using intuitive GUI an administrator can define various firewall rules to allow or restrict various types of network traffic coming from the external network to Hyper-V virtual machines, or vise versa.
• Improves Virtualization Security – Network activity data is collected by 5nine Virtual Firewall into a database. The average amount of network packets, average size of the packets and the traffic amount data are continuously calculated. User gets alerted on the network traffic deviations that may indicate possible Malware activation on virtual machine(s).
• Host Level Solution – Virtual Firewall does not require installation of agents, services or drivers on the monitored virtual machines.
• Simple to use Web GUI – 5nine Virtual Firewall has intuitive web-based user interface, allowing reviewing network traffic logs for each Hyper-V virtual machine, set rules/filters and review traffic reports. Virtual Firewall Management component (Web Console) gets installed on one of Hyper-V virtual machines, which allows System Administrator to access rules, logs and reports using only browser.
