AWS Network Firewall simplifies policy management with enhanced console features

Services
AWS Network Firewall now provides enhanced console capabilities that improve rule management and policy configuration workflows. Key improvements include the ability to modify the priority of rules directly from the console without needing to delete and recreate them, pre-populated fields to add descriptions and signature ID in your rules, default "Alert Established" selection for comprehensive connection logging, and automatic "Reject" action selection in Stream Exception Policy configuration.
These console improvements streamline the firewall administration workflow and help prevent common configuration oversights. Security teams can now efficiently adjust rule priorities through a simple point-and-click interface, accelerate rule creation with pre-configured fields, and ensure consistent security posture with smart defaults. The automatic selection of "Alert Established" and "Reject" actions helps maintain robust security logging and proper handling of midstream connection breaks without requiring manual configuration.
The enhanced AWS Network Firewall console features are available in all AWS Regions where AWS Network Firewall is offered.
