Improve your security posture using Amazon threat intelligence on AWS Network Firewall

Security Blog



AWS Network Firewall has introduced a new active threat defense managed rule group that enhances security for cloud workloads by leveraging Amazon's threat intelligence.

  • Uses Amazon's MadPot threat intelligence system to track attack infrastructure
  • Automatically blocks malicious network traffic to suspicious IPs, domains, and URLs
  • Protects against threats like command-and-control servers, malware staging hosts, and mining pools
  • Supports multiple protocols including TCP, UDP, DNS, HTTPS, and HTTP
  • Provides continuous updates with new threat indicators and signatures

Key benefits include rapid threat prevention, streamlined operations, and collective defense through shared threat intelligence across AWS infrastructure.
