--- Presentation Abstract ---
АWS Network Firewall (NFW) is a relatively new service, introduced at the end of 2020, it provides functionalities impossible to get from the good old AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) service. For example, by using NFW, the outbound traffic could be protected and no valuable data can be pulled, even if access is gained to a specific service. In this presentation, Boyan Ikonomov will show how to implement centralized network management based on the hub-and-spoke model and involve AWS Transit Gateway service for connecting different VPCs and a single NFW service, controlling both inbound and outbound traffic.
