Introducing Cloud Native Security Fabric

We're excited to introduce Cloud Native Security Fabric (CNSF) — a new security category built for the cloud-first enterprise that addresses fundamental security gaps in traditional models.Our recent research report,The State of Cloud Network Security: 2025, shows that traditional tools weren’t designed for multicloud, Kubernetes, or AI-driven architectures.The result:➡️ Only 8% can enforce zero trust across clouds➡️ 33% hit with over $100K in unexpected firewall expenses➡️ 67% of orgs struggle to integrate cloud firewalls with existing tools➡️ 85% can’t secure DevOps pipelinesCNSF flips the model, embedding enforcement directly into the cloud fabric, between workloads, to block lateral movement, secure east-west traffic, and turn zero trust from a goal into reality.Download the report: https://pages.aviatrix.com/report-industry-survey-2025.html

How Are Admin Teams Automating Network Operations with Aviatrix?

Hi all,As part of a IT Admin team responsible for multi-cloud infrastructure.I’d love to know:Has anyone integrated Aviatrix with Terraform, Ansible, or using with Scripting tools like PDQ Deploy, Attune or Puppet for CI/CD platforms for network-as-code use cases?Are there reliable ways to monitor and log Aviatrix activities from a SysOps point of view (e.g., Prometheus, ELK, or other observability stacks)?We’re looking to streamline operations, reduce manual effort, and create a repeatable setup for managing secure and scalable multi-cloud environments.Looking forward to hearing how others are approaching this in production!

Spoke to Transit connection

Hi,For connecting the Aviatrix spoke gateways (in VNET1) to the Aviatrix Transit gateways,(in VNET2), my understanding is, it utilizes the public IP address associated with each of these gateways to create the IPSec tunnels. Say this is an Azure setup.In this scenario, even if both the above VNETs are in the same region, there is a charge associated with egress traffic over the public IPs.  Is there a private peering option to avoid this charge? Normally, are these IPSec tunnels established over the public (Microsoft) network only (via the public IPs), also is there a requirement for setting up VNET peering between these two VNETs?

On-premise Internet Traffic Through Aviatrix Gateway

Hello Everyone,I am exploring options to route on-premises internet traffic through an Aviatrix NAT Gateway. Currently, we are using a third-party firewall deployed on AWS to handle NAT for our on-premises traffic.I would like to know if it is feasible to replace the existing third-party firewall with an Aviatrix NAT Gateway for this purpose. Any insights, recommendations, or experiences with such a setup would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance!

Aviatrix VPN Client for Windows random crashing

I have client 2.17.7 installed on Windows. We use SSO authentication to connect.  Typically, usually, I find that if my machine has gone to sleep and the VPN has disconnected… then the next time I try to connect the client application crashes silently after launching the SSO browser window. It seems to be an unhandled UI error. The command log has; 2024-11-19 10:03:52,278 37160 40572 ERROR servervpn ChangeProfileText 98 Unexpected14..Still in Base classI have tried (a lot); restarting the laptop restarting the Aviatrix VPN Service uninstall and reinstall using the Force Kill disabling and re-enabling the TAP-Windows adapter.If I keep trying it, again and again, eventually it works. It’s maddening.
