The general availability of AWS Network Firewall, a managed security service that helps clients protect their virtual networks, was announced on Tuesday by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
For certain virtual private cloud (VPC) environments, the AWS Network Firewall can be easily enabled through the AWS console and the company states that there are no additional user charges. Customers pay for the service based on the hours provided and gigabytes processed.
This service allows users to import existing rules, including Fortinet, CrowdStrike, Trend Micro, and Alert Logic, from AWS security partners. Check Point, Accenture, Rackspace, Splunk, SumoLogic, Tufin, IBM, and Palo Alto Networks are other companies that have built integrations with the new service comptia sec +.
Customers can configure the service to automatically send data to S3, Cloudwatch and Kinesis Data Firehose for greater visibility and monitoring purposes.
AWS found that the Network Firewall service enables customers to provide granular network protection without the need to manage additional infrastructure. Protection includes dynamic packet filtering, web filtering, and intrusion prevention and detection.
AWS Network Firewall is currently available in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and Europe (Dublin) regions, but the cloud giant has promised to roll it out to other regions in the coming period.
Steve Schmidt, CISO of AWS, said when we talk to customers about what they want from a cloud network firewall, they tell us they want network protection that works with their current security systems and without the hassles of management the underlying infrastructure. “'AWS Network Firewall provides scalable network security so customers can implement highly customizable rules across their AWS infrastructure and integrate with many of the existing APN partner services that customers use. The best thing is that there is no additional infrastructure to configure or maintain.
