Azure Firewall: Your Gateway to Network Security
Azure Firewall acts as a central gateway, filtering all inbound and outbound traffic to your Azure virtual networks. Here’s how it works:
- Defining Rules: Create granular firewall rules that specify which traffic is allowed and which is denied.
- Application Control: Take control by allowing or blocking access to specific applications, ensuring only authorized applications can access your network.
- Threat Intelligence: Azure Firewall integrates with Microsoft’s threat intelligence service to proactively block known malicious traffic.
- NAT (Network Address Translation): Mask your internal IP addresses for an extra layer of security.
