Overview

Getting Started with Shield Cloud AWS
This video walks through the initial steps of setting up a Shield Cloud environment for AWS.
Intrusion Shield Cloud is a software based firewall gateway for AWS environments built on the open source pfSense Community Edition, leveraging Intrusion Applied Threat Intelligence to inspect DNS requests and IP, TCP, UDP flows and dynamically generate real time firewall rules to block malicious traffic. Deployed as an EC2 AMI, it provides stateful firewall functionality with outbound NAT, filtering both inbound and outbound connections, and DNS sinkholing for high risk domains and IPs.
Manage your fleet of Shield Cloud instances through the Intrusion Command Hub with centralized policy control and reporting. From a single pane of glass you can register devices, configure IP and DNS permits or blocks, create inbound NAT port forwarding rules, and enroll in Zero Trust via OpenZiti.
Shield Cloud simplifies compliance and operational overhead with automated firmware updates, detailed audit trails, and built in network flow metadata collection. Whether you are protecting IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, or FaaS resources, Shield Cloud delivers enterprise grade VPC security, freeing your team to focus on innovation while we handle network defense.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
