Secure Your Azure Network with Advanced Firewall Protection: An Overview of Azure Firewall

As more and more organizations move their operations to the cloud, the importance of network security has become paramount. In a cloud environment, traditional perimeter-based security solutions are no longer sufficient, and businesses need to adopt new approaches to protect their networks and applications from cyber threats.

It is a stateful firewall, which means that it can inspect traffic at the application layer, allowing it to enforce network security policies based on the application protocol and content.

Azure Firewall uses a hub-and-spoke network topology to secure traffic flow between Virtual Networks and the Internet. The Virtual Networks are connected to the hub network, which acts as a central point for traffic inspection and policy enforcement. The Internet is connected to the hub network through an…
