HNSEC04-BP03 Implement network traffic security inspection
Network traffic security inspection provides a layered security approach to ensure traffic between your cloud and on-premises resources is properly monitored and protected against threats.
Desired outcome: Deploy inspection and security enforcement on ingress and egress network paths as needed.
Level of risk exposed if this best practice is not established: High
Benefits of establishing this best practice:
-
Enables deep packet inspection
-
Provides scalable firewall for hybrid network traffic
-
Enables advanced rule sets for protocol, domain, and threat filtering
-
Simplifies compliance with perimeter defense requirements
Implementation guidance
-
Route traffic through the firewall appliances
-
Define and maintain firewall rule groups for hybrid traffic.
-
Monitor firewall activity and adapt rules as threats evolve.
