Azure Firewall Premium has entered into public preview, offering additional capabilities for the managed cloud-based network security service over Firewall Standard.
With the new tier, users will have access to transport layer security (TLS) inspection, which decrypts outbound traffic, performs the required security functions, re-encrypts the traffic and sends it to its destination.
The service also contains a signature-based intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) which looks for specific patterns, like byte sequences in network traffic, or malicious intrusion sequences used by malware, to identify attacks.
