Azure Firewall
Protect Your Azure Environment with Azure Firewall
Azure Firewall
Threat Intelligence-Based Filtering is a security service that uses threat intelligence data to identify and block malicious content, such as emails or web traffic, based on known threats and patterns. This filtering helps protect against emerging threats by leveraging up-to-date information about cyber threats to enhance security and reduce the risk of attacks.
Network Traffic Filtering
Network Traffic Filtering is a security service that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined rules and policies. It helps protect against malicious activities by blocking or allowing traffic based on criteria such as IP addresses, ports, and protocols, enhancing overall network security and performance.
Application Role Filtering
Application Role Filtering is a security service that controls access to applications based on user roles and permissions. It ensures that only authorized users can access specific applications or features within them, enhancing security by enforcing role-based access controls and preventing unauthorized access.
Network Role Filtering
Network Role Filtering is a security feature that controls traffic access to network resources based on defined network roles and responsibilities. It ensures only authorized systems or services can interact with specific network segments, reducing the attack surface and improving security posture.
Azure Firewall Manager
Azure Firewall Manager is a management service that centralizes the management and configuration of Azure Firewalls across multiple Azure regions and subscriptions. It allows organizations to create and enforce security policies, monitor firewall rules, and manage network traffic more efficiently from a single interface. Azure Firewall Manager helps streamline security operations and ensures consistent policy enforcement across the organization's entire Azure environment.
