AWS expands network firewall capabilities with enhanced managed rules from marketplace partners
AWS Network Firewall has expanded its managed rules through marketplace partners, adding significant capabilities to enhance threat protection and compliance. These updates include new rule group optimizations and broader regional availability.
AWS Network Firewall has introduced expanded Managed Rules through its Marketplace partners, enhancing its capabilities with new rule group optimizations. These enhancements enable the inclusion of up to 10 million domain name indicators and up to 1 million IP addresses in managed rule groups. Infoblox is increasing domain name indicators to shield workloads from critical and high-risk domains, while Lumen is launching new rule groups to thwart command and control attacks.
Additionally, ThreatSTOP is adding managed rules for compliance with the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions and is broadening global compliance protections with new coverage for European Union, Japan, and United Nations sanctions. These improvements provide access to more comprehensive threat intelligence directly within AWS Network Firewall, easing the operational load of managing threat feeds and enabling quicker, more precise protection against emerging threats.
Whether the need is to block malicious domains at scale, defend against command and control infrastructures, or enforce compliance with sanctions, managed rules from AWS Marketplace partners offer ready-to-deploy, continuously updated protections for cloud workloads. Managed rules for AWS Network Firewall are available from AWS Marketplace sellers, including Check Point, Fortinet, Infoblox, Lumen, Rapid7, ThreatSTOP, and Trend Micro.
The AWS Marketplace rule groups have been expanded to 9 additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Asia Pacific (Malaysia), Canada West (Calgary), Europe (Zurich), Europe (Spain), Israel (Tel Aviv), and Mexico (Central). For a complete list of supported regions, users can visit the AWS Regional Services page.
To begin, users can visit the AWS Network Firewall console or explore available managed rules in the AWS Marketplace. For further details, the AWS Network Firewall product page and service documentation can be consulted.
