Cloud Firewall uses machine learning to analyze traffic passing through the Internet
firewall. Cloud Firewall recommends intelligent policies for destination IP addresses
or domain names based on your IP address assets, access history, and external connections.
You can apply the intelligent policies based on your business needs. Intelligent policies
help you control the exposure of assets to the Internet and block outbound traffic
to malicious IP addresses and domain names. This reduces your business risks.
Background information

by the Internet firewall.
