Today, you can use AWS Network Firewall to protect traffic flowing to and from containerized applications on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) clusters. If you run AI and machine learning (ML) workloads on Amazon EKS—such as model inference, RAG pipelines, or JupyterHub—your containerized workloads require the same […]

When securing an Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment, teams naturally prioritize inbound controls, firewalls, WAFs, and access policies, because that’s where the most visible threats originate. Outbound traffic, on the other hand, tends to get less attention. It’s often left open by default to avoid breaking application dependencies and because the risk feels less immediate. […]

Network administrators face a persistent challenge: maintaining domain blocklists and allowlists that keep pace with the internet. New websites and services emerge daily, and keeping these lists current requires constant manual updates that leave gaps in coverage. This challenge intensifies when managing access to rapidly evolving categories like AI services, where new tools launch on […]

If you’re looking to strengthen your organization’s security posture on Amazon Web Services (AWS) but aren’t sure where to start, then we’re here to help. Security Activation Days are complimentary, virtual, hands-on workshops designed to help you get practical experience with AWS security services in a single session.

Cyber threats are evolving faster than traditional security defense can respond; workloads with potential security issues are discovered by threat actors within 90 seconds, with exploitation attempts beginning within 3 minutes. Threat actors are quickly evolving their attack methodologies, resulting in new malware variants, exploit techniques, and evasion tactics. They also rotate their infrastructure—IP addresses, […]

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. What are managed rules from AWS Marketplace for […]

Today, customers use AWS Network Firewall to safeguard their workloads against common security threats. However, they often have to rely on third-party threat feeds and scanners that have limited visibility in AWS workloads to protect against active threats. A self-managed approach to cloud security through traditional threat intelligence feeds and custom rules can result in […]

At AWS, security is the top priority, and today we’re excited to share work we’ve been doing towards our goal to make AWS the safest place to run any workload. In earlier posts on this blog, we shared details of our internal active defense systems, like MadPot (global honeypots), Mithra (domain graph neural network), and Sonaris […]

AWS Network Firewall is a managed, stateful network firewall and intrusion detection and prevention service. It allows you to implement security rules for fine-grained control of your VPC network traffic. In this blog post, we discuss flow capture and flow flush, new features of AWS Network Firewall that enhance network visibility and security policy enforcement. […]

AWS Network Firewall’s automated domain lists feature enhances network security by analyzing HTTP and HTTPS traffic patterns, providing visibility into domain usage, and simplifying the creation and management of outbound traffic controls through domain-based allowlisting.
