Aws network firewall expands managed rules with marketplace partnerships
AWS Network Firewall has expanded its Managed Rules through AWS Marketplace partnerships, enhancing security with up to 10 million domain indicators and 1 million IP addresses. These updates aim to improve threat detection and compliance capabilities.
AWS Network Firewall has announced an expansion of its Managed Rules, now offering enhanced capabilities through collaborations with AWS Marketplace partners. The updates include significant optimizations in rule groups, allowing for the inclusion of up to 10 million domain name indicators and up to 1 million IP addresses. This development aims to bolster security measures for cloud workloads.
Infoblox is contributing by expanding its domain name indicators to safeguard against critical and high-risk domains. Meanwhile, Lumen is introducing new rule groups designed to prevent command and control attacks. Additionally, ThreatSTOP is enhancing its offerings by incorporating managed rules for Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions and broadening global compliance protections. This includes new coverage for sanctions from the European Union, Japan, and the United Nations.
The expanded Managed Rules provide users with access to advanced threat intelligence directly within the AWS Network Firewall. This integration aims to reduce the operational demands associated with managing threat feeds, while also enabling quicker and more precise protection against emerging threats. These managed rules offer ready-to-deploy, continuously updated defenses that can address various needs, such as blocking malicious domains, countering command and control infrastructures, and enforcing compliance with sanctions-based policies.
Managed rules for AWS Network Firewall are available from several AWS Marketplace sellers, including Check Point, Fortinet, Infoblox, Lumen, Rapid7, ThreatSTOP, and Trend Micro. Further expanding its reach, AWS Marketplace rule groups are now accessible in nine additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Jakarta, Hyderabad, Melbourne, Malaysia), Canada West (Calgary), Europe (Zurich, Spain), Israel (Tel Aviv), and Mexico (Central). For a comprehensive list of supported regions, users can visit the AWS Regional Services page.
To begin utilizing these enhancements, users can visit the AWS Network Firewall console or explore the available managed rules on AWS Marketplace. More detailed information can be found on the AWS Network Firewall product page and in the service documentation.
