Vendor

Amazon Web Services is the largest cloud platform in the world, and its security products are components of it rather than a security business. They are bought by organisations already running on AWS, priced by usage, and cannot be deployed anywhere else. AWS Network Firewall, the product listed here, is a managed firewall for the virtual networks customers run inside AWS — stateful filtering, intrusion prevention and domain filtering applied at the VPC boundary. It sits in a wider range including AWS WAF for web applications, AWS Shield for denial-of-service protection, Amazon GuardDuty for threat detection and Amazon Inspector for vulnerability assessment. None of this is assessed by the malware test laboratories. The meaningful comparison for a reader is with the other cloud providers' native firewalls rather than with the appliances and endpoint agents that fill most of this index. Vendor page →
