AWS Network Firewall is a managed firewall service for VPCs on AWS.Network Firewall automatically scales with traffic and allows fine-grained control over network traffic.The article explains the mechanisms that Network Firewall uses to assist in keeping your rule sets current and effective.Three features – managed rule groups, prefix lists, and tag-based resource groups – are discussed in detail.Managed rule groups are predefined, updated rules managed by AWS to protect against evolving security threats.Prefix lists simplify firewall management with IP address ranges that are managed by AWS or customers.Tag-based resource groups simplify firewall management by applying stateful rules to resources that meet certain EC2 or ENI tag criteria.AWS handles much of the work associated with keeping security rules synchronized, reducing manual intervention and customer automation processes.Managed rule groups, prefix lists, and tag-based resource groups can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your Network Firewall deployments.If you have questions about Network Firewall, contact AWS Support.
