Secure your networks with Azure Firewall Manager

  • Secure your networks with Azure Firewall Manager

  • Azure Firewall Manager simplifies the process of centrally defining network and application-level rules for traffic filtering across multiple Azure Firewall instances.

  • You can span different Azure regions and subscriptions in hub and spoke architectures for traffic governance and protection.

 

  • A Firewall policy is an Azure resource that contains NAT, network, and application rule collections and Threat Intelligence settings.

  • It is a global resource that can be used across multiple Azure Firewall instances in Secured Virtual Hubs and Hub Virtual Networks.

  • New policies can be created from scratch or inherited from existing policies. Inheritance allows DevOps to create local firewall policies on top of organization mandated base policy.

  • Policies work across regions and subscriptions.

  • Once you create a policy, you can associate it with a firewall in a virtual WAN hub making it a Secured Virtual Hub and/or associate it with a firewall in a standard Azure virtual network making it a Hub Virtual Network.
