Amazon Network Firewall now supports GeoIP Filtering on ingress and egress Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) traffic. This new feature makes it easy for customers to block traffic coming from or going to specific countries and meet compliance requirements. Previously, maintaining compliance with regulations was time-consuming because you have to maintain a list of IP addresses associated with specific countries and update your firewall rules regularly. GeoIP Filtering saves time and reduces operational complexity by enabling you to filter traffic on Amazon Network Firewall using the country name.
Amazon Network Firewall is a managed firewall service that makes it easy to deploy essential network protections for all your Amazon VPCs. GeoIP Filtering allows you to enforce your Amazon Network Firewall rules and policies consistently across your entire network, making it easier to meet business or regulatory compliance requirements and improve your network security posture.
There is no additional cost to enable GeoIP Filtering on Amazon Network Firewall. For more information, please see the Amazon Network Firewall product page and the service documentation.
