Abstract：Firewalls are the first defense line for the networking services and applications. With the ad-vent of virtualization and Cloud Computing, the explosive growth of network-based services, investiga-tions have emphasized the limitations of conventional firewalls.However,despite being impressively signif-icant to improve security,cloud-based firewalling approaches still experience severe performance and re-liability issues that can lead to non-use of these services by companies.Hence,our work presents an effi-cient architecture to manage performance and reliability on a hybrid cloud-based firewalling service. Be-ing composed of a physical and a virtual part,the architecture follows an approach that supports and com-plements basic physical firewall functionalities with virtual ones.The architecture was deployed and the ex-perimental results show that the proposed approach improves the computational power of traditional fire-wall with the support of cloud-based firewalling service.
