So often, team efforts pay off. And now we\u2019re pleased to announce Cloud NGFW along with Amazon Web Services (AWS)<\/a>. Managed by Palo Alto Networks and easily procured in AWS Marketplace, the service has been designed to easily deliver our best-in-class security protections with AWS simplicity and scale.<\/p>\n

\"Best-in-class<\/span><\/div>
Cloud NGFW provides both best-in-class security and cloud native ease of use.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The service is an important development for today\u2019s cloud deployments and is meant to help accelerate the enterprise journey to the cloud. According to Gartner\u00ae<\/sup>, by 2025, 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud-native platforms<\/a>, up from 30% in 2021. This rapid growth has made it critical for organizations to have a simple way to protect their cloud workloads against today\u2019s targeted and sophisticated attacks and then scale protection as threats continue expanding.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re excited about Cloud NGFW \u2013 just a few clicks enable best-in-class security with cloud-native ease of use. Here\u2019s a preview of what you\u2019ll discover in AWS Marketplace<\/a>\u00a0today and a sneak peak at what we\u2019ll be diving into at our on-demand\u00a0Cloud NGFW event with AWS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>You\u2019ll Find Best-in-Class Network Security Purpose-Built for AWS<\/h2>\n

Providing best-in-class protections has been a focal point of our collaboration with AWS, and now they\u2019re available for network security in the cloud. For example, there\u2019s Advanced URL Filtering<\/a>, which uses inline deep learning to help stop zero-day web threats in real time and secures applications as they connect to legitimate web-based services.<\/p>\n

We also knew our customers needed to stop vulnerability exploits and sophisticated file-based attacks, as well as malware and command-and-control (C2) communications, so we included Threat Prevention<\/a>. To further safeguard applications, we made sure Cloud NGFW came with App-ID<\/a>. This protection reduces the risk of an attack by controlling traffic based on our patented Layer 7 traffic classification.<\/p>\n

<\/a>You\u2019ll See How to Get Full Network Security in Minutes<\/h2>\n

Ease of use is essential for cloud services, which is why we made purchasing, deployment and use simple. Just procure Cloud NGFW in AWS Marketplace. A few clicks is all it takes to get going, even when setting up must-have rulestacks and automated security profiles.<\/p>\n

\"Simply<\/span><\/div>
Cloud NGFW just takes three simple steps to procure, deploy, manage and secure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This ease of use means there\u2019s no infrastructure to manage, and there\u2019s also no need to worry about deploying, updating or managing any infrastructure. What\u2019s more, Cloud NGFW meets unpredictable throughput needs by leveraging the power of AWS Gateway Load Balancer<\/a> (GWLB), which provides on-demand high availability and elastic scaling.<\/p>\n

<\/a>You\u2019ll Find Out How Easy Scaling Network Security Can Be<\/h3>\n

Cloud NGFW is also the first NGFW to integrate with AWS Firewall Manager. This integration enables simple and consistent firewall policy management across multiple AWS accounts and Amazon Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). Plus, Cloud NGFW fully automates security and comes with full support for API, CloudFormation and Terraform, which enables the automation of end-to-end workflows.<\/p>\n

<\/a>You\u2019ll Discover Real-Time, Zero-Day Prevention for AWS VPCs<\/h3>\n

Once you set up the service, Cloud NGFW gets to work controlling traffic across VPCs, where organizations place their applications. The service uses those Palo Alto Networks protections to inspect all traffic entering VPCs, leaving VPCs and moving within VPCs to secure applications and AWS workloads.<\/p>\n

\"Protect<\/span><\/div>
Cloud NGFW is designed to protect traffic flows throughout AWS deployments.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/a> All of these advances would not have been possible without close collaboration with AWS. Our teams have worked closely together for many months as we jointly designed and developed this service. It\u2019s been a fantastic collaboration from day one.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I encourage you to take a look at what Cloud NGFW can do for you today in\u00a0AWS Marketplace<\/a>, read our\u00a0technical blog<\/a>, and sign up for our on-demand event. You\u2019ll find panels of experts from both Palo Alto Networks and AWS.\u00a0See how Cloud NGFW<\/a> easily makes your AWS deployments more secure.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
