What does Firewall Manager enable you to do?

Firewall Manager is a security management service that enables you to manage and enforce firewall rules across multiple AWS accounts from a single interface. It allows administrators to centrally configure and manage firewall rules for services like AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall), which helps protect web applications from common web exploits. By using Firewall Manager, organizations can ensure consistent security policies across all their accounts and resources, improving compliance and reducing the risk of misconfigurations.

This centralized management capability is especially beneficial for large organizations or those using multiple AWS accounts, as it streamlines the process of applying and maintaining security rules that would otherwise need to be replicated individually in each account. As a result, Firewall Manager enhances security posture and simplifies management efforts across an organization’s AWS environment.

Other options, while relevant to AWS services, do not align with the core functionality of Firewall Manager. For instance, creating custom API Gateway endpoints pertains to API management rather than firewall rule management, provisioning VPCs relates to network configuration instead of security policy enforcement, and analyzing web traffic patterns is more about monitoring and insights rather than direct management of firewall rules.
