A service for centrally managing firewall rules across your entire AWS Organization

About 2 min read

What It Does

AWS Firewall Manager centrally applies and manages WAF rules, Security Groups, Network Firewall policies, and Shield Advanced protection across multiple accounts and resources under AWS Organizations. When new accounts or resources are added, policies are automatically applied.

Use Cases

It is used for unifying security policies across multi-account environments, bulk-applying WAF rules to all accounts, auto-remediating non-compliant security group rules, and managing DDoS protection across the entire organization.

Everyday Analogy

Think of it like a building management company. The management company inspects and installs fire safety equipment (firewalls) for all tenants (accounts) at once. When a new tenant moves in, fire safety equipment is automatically installed, and equipment that doesn't meet standards is automatically corrected.

What Is Firewall Manager?

AWS Firewall Manager is a service for centrally managing firewall rules across your organization. Instead of individually configuring WAF and security groups in each account, you define policies in Firewall Manager and they are automatically applied to target accounts and resources. Integration with AWS Organizations is a prerequisite.

Types of Security Policies

Firewall Manager supports multiple types of security policies. WAF policies apply rules to protect web applications from attacks. Security group policies manage VPC security groups and auto-remediate non-compliant rules. Network Firewall policies apply VPC-level traffic filtering. Shield Advanced policies deploy DDoS protection across the organization. For the latest trends and practical techniques on security policy types, reference books (Amazon) are also available.

Getting Started

To use Firewall Manager, create an organization in AWS Organizations and designate a Firewall Manager administrator account in the management account. Create policies in the administrator account, specifying target accounts and resource types. Once policies are created, rules are automatically applied to existing and new resources.

Things to Watch Out For

  • AWS Organizations must be enabled as a prerequisite. It cannot be used with a single account
  • In addition to Firewall Manager's own charges, separate charges apply for WAF, Shield Advanced, and other services you apply
