Virtual firewalls for your cloud environments
Take advantage of Security Groups to reliably secure your applications. This allows you to precisely control traffic and permit only desired connections, which ensure your applications stay protected from unauthorized access.
Maximum security for your cloud infrastructure: Flexible, fast, intuitive
Secure your SysEleven OpenStack Cloud infrastructure in no time with customizable Security Groups. Easily define which traffic is permitted – both internally and externally. Our user-friendly cloud platform enables you to create custom Security Groups in just a few clicks. Take advantage of full flexibility to seamlessly manage and adjust your traffic rules, which ensures that your instances will communicate securely and efficiently.
Simple management
Create Security Groups and assign them to multiple instances rather than having to configure individual firewall rules for each instance. Use tags to facilitate better management and organization of Security Groups in larger environments.
Access control
Define specific rules to allow or block incoming and outgoing traffic based on IP addresses, ports, and protocols. With precise rules for specific ports, IP addresses, or subnets, traffic can be controlled with pinpoint accuracy.
Compatibility
Security Groups can seamlessly slot into other cloud services, which makes centralized and simplified security management possible.
Scalability
Rules within Security Groups can be modified at any time without needing a reboot of the associated instances. This makes them particularly suitable for dynamic, scalable environments.
Use Cases
Securing development and testing environments
Isolate your development and testing environments from the production environment to ensure your software projects’ integrity. With Security Groups, you can grant authorized developers access while minimizing the risk of data loss and unwanted changes.
Protecting sensitive customer data
Safeguard your sensitive customer data by strictly controlling access to your databases. Security Groups allow you to ensure that only authorized applications and users have access, which maintains the privacy and security of your financial data.
Protecting payment gateways
Reduce the risk of fraud and cyberattacks by restricting access to your payment gateways only to known and trusted IP addresses only. With Security Groups, you can precisely control traffic, which significantly enhances your e-commerce platform’s security.

FAQs
Security Groups are a type of firewall specifically designed for cloud environments. They operate at the level of individual instances and provide stateful inspection. This means that they automatically pair incoming and outgoing connections.
The number of rules you can create in a Security Group depends on the specific cloud platform. Most providers have upper limits, that are generally sufficient for most applications.
Can I block IP addresses or subnets? Yes, you can block or allow specific IP addresses, ranges of IP addresses, or entire subnets within the rules of a Security Group.
Many cloud platforms offer predefined rules or templates based on best practices. This helps to simplify the creation of Security Groups.
