AWS Firewall Manager
#111 · Level 3 · Modern architecture · SecurityConcept
Section titled “Concept”AWS Firewall Manager is a service for applying security rules centrally across many accounts. It works with AWS Organizations, and policies are created from one administrator account. With policies, you can turn on rules such as WAF rules, Shield Advanced protection, Security Groups and Network Firewall in every account. When a new account or resource is added, Firewall Manager can apply the rules there too. You can also see from here which resources are not following the rules.
