Expanding the Synqly Ecosystem: Introducing the Network Security Integration Category

As cloud perimeters expand and threats become more sophisticated, managing and securing network traffic is more critical than ever. Today, I am excited to announce the latest addition to Synqly’s integration ecosystem: the Network Security category.

What is Network Security and Why is it Important?

Network security is the foundational layer of defense for any organization. It encompasses the policies, controls, and tools designed to monitor and protect the integrity, confidentiality, and accessibility of computer networks and data.

In today’s cloud-first world, network security is vitally important because the traditional perimeter has disappeared. Organizations need dynamic firewall configurations, strict access controls, and automated threat responses to secure their infrastructure. For cybersecurity vendors and OEMs, seamlessly integrating with the network security controls your customers already use is no longer optional—it is a requirement to deliver a comprehensive, automated defense.

The First Products in Our Network Security Category

To launch this category, we are starting with the foundational cloud providers that power modern infrastructure. Through the Synqly platform, your product can now seamlessly interact with the following services:

AWS Network Security

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides comprehensive network protection to secure cloud boundaries and segment traffic. By integrating with AWS Network Security, your product can interact with:

• Security Groups and Network ACLs: Automate the management of inbound and outbound traffic rules at the instance and subnet levels.
  
• AWS Network Firewall: Programmatically manage stateful inspection, intrusion prevention, and web filtering rules across Amazon VPCs.
  
• AWS WAF: Deploy and manage web traffic filtering rules to protect web applications from common exploits.

Microsoft Azure Network Security

Azure’s network security services deliver robust traffic filtering and routing controls for hybrid and cloud environments. Integrating with Azure allows your product to leverage:

• Network Security Groups (NSGs): Automate the creation and updating of security rules that allow or deny network traffic to Azure resources.
• Azure Firewall: Manage central network security policies, threat intelligence-based filtering, and deep packet inspection.
• Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF): Centralize protection for web applications against common vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting.

Google Network Security

Google Cloud offers planetary-scale protection and micro-segmentation for modern applications. Our integration enables your product to connect with:

• VPC Firewall Rules: Dynamically configure allow/deny rules to manage traffic to and from Google Cloud virtual machine instances.
• Google Cloud Next Generation Firewall (NGFW): Automate advanced threat protection, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and granular access controls.
• Google Cloud Armor: Manage enterprise-grade DDoS defense and WAF policies at the network edge.

Why Vendors and OEMs Rely on Synqly for These Integrations

We know that building and maintaining API connectors is a massive drain on your engineering resources. At Synqly, we approach integrations differently so you can focus on your core product.

• Real Relationships, Real Testing: Every integration in Synqly’s ecosystem starts as a real relationship with the vendor. We build against their live product, test on real data, and validate every integration on the vendor’s live environment. What you get from Synqly is exactly what your customers will actually run in production.
• Engineer-Led Scoping: When you request a connection, an engineer reviews it—not a form queue. Every request goes directly to someone who can scope the vendor’s API and tell you exactly what is possible.
• Skip the Build: Building integrations shouldn’t derail your roadmap. With Synqly, there is no sprint work, no vendor SDK research, and no pulling engineers off your core features to write a connector that was never your product’s job to own.
• Skip the Maintenance: Once it ships, we own the connector for good. When a vendor changes their API, we catch it proactively because we have the relationship—not because your monitoring caught a failure in production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a Network Security integration?

A network security integration enables disparate software applications, such as a SIEM, SOAR, or posture management tool, to communicate directly with network defense systems (such as cloud firewalls and security groups). This enables automated threat response, policy management, and traffic visibility without manual intervention.

How does Synqly maintain these API connections?

Synqly takes over the complete lifecycle of the connector. Because we maintain direct relationships with vendors like AWS, Microsoft, and Google, we are alerted to API changes, deprecations, and updates. We update the connector on our end to ensure your customers never experience a broken integration.

Why shouldn’t my engineering team build these in-house?

Building a single API integration often takes weeks of sprint work, SDK research, and testing. Maintaining it takes even more time as APIs inevitably change. By using Synqly, you offload the development and maintenance burden, allowing your highly-paid engineers to focus on your core product roadmap rather than chasing third-party API documentation.

How do I request a new integration?

We built Synqly to take the burden of integrations off your team. Explore our technical documentation to see how our unified API works, and reach out to tell us what you need connected next. We scope and build based on your actual customer needs. You can request a specific integration via our website here.
