Eduardo Cervantes, CEOThe platform can be up and running within any existing virtual firewalls. Once automated, it can license, deploy, operate and patch hundreds of virtual firewalls. There was a time when this process would cost millions of dollars and months of man-hours, but thanks to Corsa Security, virtualization on the security side has become simple. The platform can provide users with visibility of the capacity utilization of each firewall, and they can set a maximum throughput per firewall to always have enough capacity utilization such that their assets are optimally used. When the system senses that one firewall is getting too overloaded, it automatically spins up other firewalls to support the load. This functionality is called AutoScale, which conventionally exists in cloud services, but when it comes to on-premise management of data centers, only Corsa offers such a capability for virtual firewalls.
The clients only pay for what they need and are assured that they will not run out of capacity in the case of a spike in traffic or a denial of service. In such a scenario, the platform will automatically license virtual firewalls from the client’s preferred vendor, set them up, monitor, and then decommission them when the time comes.
With a platform that auto-scales and automates the firewall deployment, the company aims to build other security functionalities to bolster the military and central intelligence. Cervantes is hopeful that, after gaining good ground in the Asian and North American markets, the European market will hold many takers for this state-of-the-art and novel technology in the security space.
The implementation of the platform saves millions of dollars for Corsa’s clients who would otherwise either spend on buying and upgrading hardware or on employing in-house virtualization teams that stack up DevOps costs. For one of their public sector clients, the government of an Asian country, Corsa’s platform proved beneficial in saving a considerable chunk of money. The country was building an intelligence system to lawfully intercept encrypted communications to mitigate crime and curb terrorism and insurgency. Over the internet, a substantial part of personal data is encrypted, including a lot of criminal data. “We provided a whole nation the ability to set up enough virtual firewalls to look at every encrypted communication in and out of the country,” says Cervantes. “If they had taken the hardware route, it would have been a $50 million hardware deployment, whereas with our product and virtual firewalls it amounted to $5 million.” The company helps large enterprises and service providers to handle vast amounts of data going in and out of their network and reduce their total cost of ownership.
Corsa Security was born with its unique offering - virtualization as a security stack - leveraging a turnkey network security virtualization platform.

Rapid deployment and dynamic scaling of software firewalls delivers advanced network security to Eventus' customers
OTTAWA, ON, -- Corsa Security , leaders in scaling network security, today announced it has entered into an agreement with Eventus Security, the Mumbai-based India's leading Managed Security Services Provider, to offer a hosted, managed virtual firewall service for their customers.
Eventus will be able to enhance its managed security services portfolio by moving to a virtual firewall service (VFS) running in their data center, using the Corsa Security Orchestrator (CSO) and software firewalls from leading vendors. Eventus will be able to offer their customers very rapid service delivery with complete flexibility in firewall capacity and security services to meet the exact customer needs.
“With the Corsa Security Orchestrator we can simply deploy software firewalls from the leading vendors at whatever service level our customers require and then quickly scale as their needs grow.”
"We know that virtualization of a hosted, managed firewall service brings many benefits to our customers and our operations, but we needed to avoid a DIY approach because of the expense and maintenance issues," said Manish Chasta, Co-Founder & CTO, Eventus Security. "With the Corsa Security Orchestrator we can simply deploy software firewalls from the leading vendors at whatever service level our customers require and then quickly scale as their needs grow. We can operationalize the service with ease and are not left with legacy of code to maintain."
"Corsa delivers a very compelling solution for managed service providers needing to offer Virtual Firewall Services," says Eduardo Cervantes, CEO, Corsa Security. "We are pleased to team up with Eventus to bring on their service in the shortest time possible so their customers can benefit from a modern, flexible service model. In turn, Eventus will realize the ROI necessary to grow their business and continue to innovate in network security."
The Corsa Security Orchestrator deploys, scales and optimizes virtual firewalls so Eventus' customer support team can spin up new ones in minutes. Each customer, large or small, gets their own firewall VM or cluster of VMs and benefits from better security with the firewall security subscription that aligns to their needs or is compatible with their existing deployment. The Corsa Security Orchestrator monitors and controls the virtual firewalls so that Eventus can manage all their firewall VMs from a unified dashboard delivering speed, simplicity, and savings to their managed service offering.
