Today, we are excited to announce support for new protocols in Amazon Network Firewall so you can protect your Amazon VPCs using application-specific inspection rules in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. With this launch, Amazon Network Firewall will detect protocols like HTTP2, QUIC, BitTorrent, and PostgreSQL so you can apply firewall inspection rules to these protocols. You can also use new rule keywords in TLS, SNMP, DHCP, and Kerberos rules to apply granular security controls to your stateful inspection rules.
Amazon Network Firewall is a managed firewall service that makes it easy to deploy essential network protections for all your Amazon VPCs. It’s flexible rules engine lets you define firewall rules that give you fine-grained control over network traffic. You can also enable Amazon Managed Rules for intrusion detection and prevention signatures that protect against threats such as botnets, scanners, web attacks, phishing and emerging events.
