Automations for AWS Firewall Manager

Centrally configure, manage, and audit firewall rules across all your accounts and resources

Overview

Automations for AWS Firewall Manager allows you to centrally configure, manage, and audit firewall rules across all your AWS Organizations accounts and resources in an automated way. By using this AWS Solution, you can maintain a consistent security posture across your organization.

This solution provides preset rules to configure application-level firewalls for AWS WAF, audit unused and overly permissive Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) security groups, and set up a DNS firewall to block queries for bad domains.

This solution also helps you create a quick baseline of firewall security rules and protect against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks through integration with AWS Shield Advanced.

Note: You can use this solution if you already use Firewall Manager in your organization; however, you must install the solution in your Firewall Manager admin account. If you have not already set up Firewall Manager, refer to the implementation guide for the steps.
