New Features - Cloud NGFW for AWS - January 2025

Cloud NGFW for AWS now supports deployment in Asia Pacific (Hyderabad), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), and Canada West (Calgary) regions to address data residency requirements and deliver low-latency security for organizations operating in India, Australia, and Western Canada. Organizations with operations in these regions face challenges meeting local data sovereignty regulations while maintaining consistent security postures when infrastructure resides in geographically distant regions. With these regional expansions, you can now deploy Cloud NGFW for AWS closer to your workloads and users in these geographies, ensuring compliance with data residency requirements while reducing network latency and improving application performance.

This expansion enables you to maintain unified security policies across your global AWS infrastructure while keeping traffic inspection and security functions within specific jurisdictions. You can now protect workloads in India's rapidly growing cloud market with locally-deployed security, serve Australian users with in-region data processing, and support Western Canadian operations with geographically appropriate deployments. Each region provides the same advanced threat prevention capabilities available globally, but with the added benefits of local data processing, regulatory compliance, and optimized performance for regional users.
