![]() ![]() The traffic packet headers and payload remain intact, providing complete visibility to the destination (no SNAT/DNAT). Cloud NGFW acts as a bump-in-the-wire in outbound, east-west, and inbound traffic paths in these architectures. You can use AWS gateways such as Internet Gateway, NAT gateway, and Transit gateway in conjunction with NGFW endpoint(s) and VPC routing to support distributed and centralised deployment architectures. The cybersecurity company released a Getting Started with Cloud NGFW for AWS guide to document the setup of the new service and explains on its tech blog:Ĭloud NGFW supports a variety of deployment scenarios. ![]() Moreover the customer had to manage the firewall and the scaling of the infrastructure. Using Palo Alto’s technology on AWS was previously possible but not easy to set up, requiring either a VPN connection or a so-called VPC insertion. ![]() Other supported Palo Alto technologies are Threat Prevention, to stop known vulnerability exploits and malware, and App-ID, to reduce the risk of attack by controlling traffic based on Layer 7 traffic classification.Ĭloud NGFW can control traffic across VPCs without inserting IPS appliances to monitor and protect cloud workloads. With Advanced URL filtering, customers can create rules to identify and handle network traffic based on feeds, curated lists of sites that distribute viruses, spyware, and other types of malware. This gives you the ability to implement fine-grained, application-centric security management that is more effective than simpler models that are based solely on ports, protocols, and IP addresses. Cloud NGFW for AWS can decrypt network packets, look inside, and then identify applications using signatures, protocol decoding, behavioural analysis, and heuristics. Palo Alto Networks pioneered the concept of deep packet inspection in their NGFWs. Jeff Barr, vice president and chief evangelist at AWS, explains the benefits of Cloud NGFW for AWS: Palo Alto Networks partnered with the cloud provider to offer a managed firewall service designed to simplify securing AWS deployments. AWS recently announced that Firewall Manager supports Palo Alto Networks Cloud Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW).
