Azure Firewall is a cloud-native network security service. It offers fully stateful network and application-level traffic filtering for VNet resources, with built-in high availability and cloud scalability delivered as a service.
Using Azure Firewall, you can protect your VNets by filtering outbound, inbound, spoke-to-spoke, VPN, and ExpressRoute traffic. Connectivity policy enforcement is supported across multiple VNets and Azure subscriptions.
You can use Azure Monitor to centrally log all events. You can archive the logs to a storage account, stream events to your Event Hub, or send them to Log Analytics or your security information and event management (SIEM) product of your choice.
In the video we will talk about features and capabilities in-depth, some use cases and a demo of Azure Firewall.
