Build secure, scalable, highly available web front ends in Azure.

Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that enables the management of traffic to web applications.

Support for public, private and hybrid websites with an integrated web application firewall and 99.95 per cent uptime service-level agreement for multi-instance deployments.

Strong encryption from the front end to the back end helps secure your data. Scale your web application with SSL offload and centralised SSL certificate management. Protect your applications from common web vulnerabilities such as SQL injection scripting and monitor your web applications using rules and groups set to your requirements.

Autoscaling, zone redundancy, web application firewall and Secure Sockets Layer termination (SSL/TLS) all incorporated into this service.

Protect your Azure Virtual Network resources with cloud-native network security.

Azure Firewall is a managed, cloud-based network security service that protects your Azure Virtual Network resources. It’s a fully stateful firewall as a service with built-in high availability and unrestricted cloud scalability.

You can centrally create, enforce, and log application and network connectivity policies across subscriptions and virtual networks. Azure Firewall uses a static public IP address for your virtual network resources allowing outside firewalls to identify traffic originating from your virtual network. The service is fully integrated with Azure Monitor for logging and analytics.

You can centrally create allow or deny network filtering rules by source and destination IP address, port, and protocol. Azure Firewall is fully stateful, so it can distinguish legitimate packets for different types of connections. Rules are enforced and logged across multiple subscriptions and virtual networks.

Azure Firewall security to help protect your digital assets. Strengthen your network security posture, deploy a stateful firewall in minutes and prevent malware and viruses from spreading.
