Amazon Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall now supports Palo Alto Networks Advanced DNS Security (Preview)

Palo Alto Networks Advanced DNS Security on Route 53 DNS Firewall Preview

AWS announces the preview of Palo Alto Networks (PANW) Advanced DNS Security on Amazon Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall. Security administrators can now enforce DNS threat protections from Palo Alto Networks directly on Route 53 DNS Firewall rules, without deploying separate firewalls or modifying VPC configurations.

What to do

• Subscribe to PANW from the DNS Firewall console through the embedded AWS Marketplace widget.
• Deploy security categories including Command and Control, Malware, Phishing, Newly Registered Domains, and more.
• Apply these protections for DNS query traffic from Amazon VPCs and hybrid-cloud, forwarded via Route 53 Resolver Endpoints.

This integration is available in preview in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US West (N. California), Europe (London), Europe (Frankfurt), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Africa (Cape Town). DNS Firewall Advanced customers can add PANW rules to existing rule groups at no additional DNS Firewall charge, and the Palo Alto Networks Advanced DNS Security Marketplace subscription is free during preview.
