New Features - Cloud NGFW for AWS - August 2024

Cloud NGFW now enables unified credit distribution and management across both AWS and Azure deployments to address the complexity of managing separate credit pools for each cloud platform. Organizations operating multi-cloud environments previously faced challenges allocating security budgets efficiently when credits were siloed by cloud provider, leading to overprovisioning in some clouds while exhausting credits in others. With unified credit management, you can now use Cloud NGFW credits to fund both Cloud NGFW resources in AWS and Azure, along with all related Cloud-Delivered Security Services including Panorama, Strata Cloud Manager, and Strata Logging Service, providing flexibility to allocate security spending based on actual usage patterns rather than pre-committed allocations per cloud.

This unified approach allows you to optimize credit utilization across your entire multi-cloud infrastructure, shifting resources dynamically as your cloud footprint evolves without purchasing separate credit pools for each platform. You can now manage security spending through a single credit pool, simplifying financial planning and enabling more efficient use of your committed spend. The consolidated management reduces administrative overhead associated with tracking multiple credit balances and ensures you maximize the value of your Cloud NGFW investment across all cloud environments.
