Azure Firewall

What is Azure Firewall?

Azure Firewall by Microsoft is a leading web application firewall that delivers best-in-class threat protection for cloud workloads hosted within the Azure environment. This fully stateful firewall-as-a-service combines state-of-the-art features with built-in high availability and limitless scalability to ensure protection for your cloud-based assets. 

Functioning seamlessly as both an east-west and north-south traffic inspector, it provides comprehensive L3-L7 filtering capabilities. This encompasses thorough inspection and management of traffic at multiple layers. The security solution offers integration with threat intelligence feeds directly from Microsoft Cyber Security. This direct feed enables it to leverage real-time updates on known malicious IP addresses and domains.

Why Choose Azure Firewall? 

• The web application firewall allows you to distribute your firewall across zones for redundancy within a region. 
• It lets you define granular control over network traffic flow using IP addresses, ports, and protocols. 
• The platform allows you to simplify firewall rules by allowing traffic from trusted domains identified by FQDN tags. 
• You can attach multiple IP addresses to your firewall for DNAT and SNAT capabilities. 
• The network security service allows you to directly include FQDNs (Fully Qualified Domain Names) within firewall rules for simpler configuration. 

Benefits of Azure Firewall Platform 

• The web application firewall allows you to ensure compliance with industry standards like PCI, SOC, ISO, and ICSA Labs. 
• It analyzes encrypted traffic for threats by decrypting outbound data, inspecting it, and then re-encrypting it. 
• The platform acts as a security guard by monitoring network traffic for suspicious activity and taking actions to block it. 
• It provides more granular control over web access by allowing you to filter entire URLs with paths, not just domain names. 
• The network security service acts as an intermediary between your resources and external DNS servers.
