Looking at the firewall vendors that are listed as official partners here, this looks like another pretty security-lite, native product for companies that are just looking to check a compliance box and not a real enterprise offering.
Similar to the AWS WAF, this seems geared for a smaller team that can't afford the time to deploy and manage virtual security appliances.
It looks like they're following the same formula as the WAF on this one by letting partners provide rulesets.
I'm waiting for AWS to really flesh these products out and eat all these "partners" lunches.
- p0rkbelly 6y agoLooks like it is built on the new Gateway Load-Balancer, which the Enterprise firewalls are a part of and auto-scale out. Meaning, third-parties have the same scaling capabilities now. So I see this as "Oh I don't need the big fancy palo alto crowd, just the basics". I've known a lot of people who spent a lot of time trying to get snort running proper in AWS, this seems to be geared at that. The Palo Altos of the world certainly aren't scared of competing with Snort.
