### Azure Firewall

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. Azure Firewall uses a static public IP address for your virtual network resources, which allows outside firewalls to identify traffic originating from your virtual network. Azure Firewall provides inbound protection for non-HTTP/S protocols (such as RDP, SSH, and FTP), outbound network-level protection for all ports and protocols, and application-level protection for outbound HTTP/S.

[Azure Firewall](/azure/firewall/overview) is a managed, cloud-based network security service available in three tiers:

- **Basic**: Limited features, alert-only threat intelligence (not recommended for production).
34+
- **Standard**: Full stateful firewall, FQDN filtering, threat intelligence, log analytics.
35+
- **Premium**: Adds TLS inspection, IDPS with 67,000+ signatures, URL filtering, web categories, scales to 100 Gbps, PCI DSS compliance.
