What's New
| October 2024 | Cloud NGFW for AWS allows you to classify your VPC traffic using Private and Public zones to simplify policy enforcement. You can also attach a Zone Protection profile to these private and public zones. Additionally, you create zone mappings to associate the security zones in your Panorama with Cloud NGFW’s Private (internal) or Public (external) zone. For more information, see Zone-based policies. Cloud NGFW for AWS adds support for Egress NAT (Network Address Translation). Egress NAT enables Cloud NGFW to perform source NAT on the traffic egressing out of the Cloud NGFW resource. This eliminates the need for a separate NAT gateway in your VPC for egressing traffic. For more information, see Egress NAT. |
