AWS Network Firewall for Egress and Ingress filtering
What is a Firewall?
A firewall is a system built to protect private networks from unauthorized and unverified access through an internet connection. Firewalls can be either in the form of hardware or software - or a combination of the two.
What is AWS Network Firewall?
AWS Network Firewall is a stateful, managed, network firewall and intrusion detection and prevention service for your virtual private cloud (VPC) that you created in Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).
With Network Firewall, you can filter traffic at the perimeter of our VPC. This includes filtering traffic going to and coming from an internet gateway, NAT gateway, or over VPN or AWS Direct Connect. Network Firewall uses the open source intrusion prevention system (IPS), Suricata, for stateful inspection. Network Firewall supports Suricata compatible rules.
AWS Network Firewall provides network traffic filtering protection for your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud VPCs. This tutorial provides steps for getting started with Network Firewall using the AWS Management Console.
Additionally, AWS Network Firewall provides extra features including deep packet inspection, application protocol detection, domain name filtering, and an intrusion prevention system. WAF, in contrast, can’t handle these features because it works on a different open systems intercommunication (OSI) model layer.
