AWS Network Firewall now supports managed threat intelligence rules from VisionHeight

AWS Network FirewallAWS · Security, Identity, & Compliance

AWS Network Firewall now supports two new managed rule groups from VisionHeight, available through AWS Marketplace: Zero-Day Threat Protection, and Noisy Scanners and Tor Protection. These rule groups expand the managed rules offerings for AWS Network Firewall, giving customers access to proprietary threat intelligence built on VisionHeight's Pulse telemetry.

Zero-Day Threat Protection proactively blocks malicious IP infrastructure before it appears on public blocklists. This rule group helps organizations get ahead of emerging threats by weeks, strengthening defense for workloads facing targeted attacks. Tor Protection reduces firewall log noise by blocking communication with active Tor exit nodes and filtering traffic from known high-volume scanning sources. With daily refresh cycles, this rule group suppresses noise at first packet —before events are generated—lowering SOC alert volume, reducing SIEM ingestion costs, and removing Tor as a path into or out of your environment.

Managed rules for AWS Network Firewall are available from AWS Marketplace sellers including Check Point, Fortinet, Infoblox, Lumen, Rapid7, ThreatSTOP, Trend Micro, and VisionHeight. For a full list of supported regions, visit the AWS Regional Services page.

To get started, visit the AWS Network Firewall console or browse available managed rules in AWS Marketplace. For more information, see the AWS Network Firewall product page and the service documentation.
