Network Firewall

The problem

To meet customer expectations, reduce reliance on third-party vendors, and ensure secure multi-tenant isolation, OCI needed to develop and offer a native network firewall service. This service would need to support centralized policy management, traffic inspection, threat detection, and seamless integration with other cloud-native services—empowering customers to confidently scale their operations without compromising on security.

My impact

• Held collaboration sessions with networking architects to better understand the firewall functionality being built and how OCI customers would use the service.


• Created user flows to show the process for creating a Network Firewall policy and creating a Network Firewall.


• Designed end-to-end CRUD solutions for network firewall policy and network firewall, along with adding/removing a policy to the firewall


• Designed complex easy to use rule builders for the Network Firewall policy.


• Validated designs with networking architects and engineers which allowed for OCI customers to easily adopt using OCI's native Network Firewall service.

Meaningful results

Launching the Network Firewall service allowed for multiple OCI customers to switch and use the native firewall security service compared to using and maintaining a third-party firewall.

This resulted in customers using OCI Network Firewalls in their networks to add additional security as covered in Announcing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Network Firewall .
