AWS Network Firewall now supports managed rules curated by AWS Partners—giving you pre-built threat intelligence and security controls that reduce the need to create and maintain your own rule sets. This new capability helps organizations strengthen their network security posture with continuously updated AWS partner managed protection.

Recently, Equinix introduced the Equinix Fabric Cloud Router (FCR), a virtual routing service that enhances multicloud networking while improving performance, security and cost-efficiency. Equinix FCR with AWS Direct Connect is available in AWS Marketplace, allowing organizations to establish private, dedicated connections across their cloud infrastructure.

Web application firewalls (WAFs) help secure your web applications and APIs, but traditional WAFs can be complex to configure and maintain. When looking to deploy a WAF, it is important to understand the requirements and considerations needed for that individual WAF. Traditional WAF deployments must take performance, sizing, network architecture, and other issues into consideration. With CloudGuard WAF-as-a-Service (WAFaaS), those considerations have been preset, making deployment easy.
