“We’ve heard from customers that security and simplicity are two of the top reasons they choose AWS,” said Stephen Orban, Vice President, AWS Marketplace and Control Services at AWS. We are thrilled to team with AWS to combine the top-notch security we are known for with the world-class experience people have come to expect from AWS.”

“Now, as cyberattacks continue to grow in frequency and sophistication, organizations are looking for network security that is as easy to deploy as other native AWS services. The native AWS experience and the proliferation of AWS native services have given these organizations the tools they needed to embrace the cloud,” said Anand Oswal, Senior Vice President, Network Security at Palo Alto Networks. “A key reason that companies have embraced the cloud is that they want to concentrate on their core competencies and leave other tasks like infrastructure and underlying services to experts like AWS.

Cloud NGFW for AWS, thus, moved the operational responsibility, including deployment, availability, maintenance, and scale, to Palo Alto Networks. Pal Alto Networks said that it developed the new service after discovering that its customers have had to spend sufficient time and resources to develop applications and take their business forward instead of managing cloud network security. According to the network firewall vendor, the cloud NGFW for AWS enables organizations to speed up their pace of innovation while remaining highly secure. Palo Alto Networks, a 10-time leader in network firewalls, in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS), has designed a new, fully managed next-generation firewall (NGFW) service to simplify the complexities of securing AWS cloud deployments.

NGFW’s key capabilities include advanced URL filtering, threat prevention to stop malware, and App-ID traffic classification.

The Next-Generation Firewall service is easy to deploy and simply scales like other native AWS services.

Cloud NGFW for AWS enables organizations to shift security responsibility to Palo Alto, allowing them to speed cloud innovation while remaining secure.
