Central network security policy and route management for globally distributed, software-defined perimeters

Azure Firewall Manager is a security management service that provides central security policy and route management for cloud-based security perimeters. Firewall Manager can provide security management for two network architecture types.

Secured virtual hub: An Azure Virtual WAN Hub is a Microsoft-managed resource that lets users create hub and spoke architectures. When security and routing policies are associated with such a hub, it is referred to as a secured virtual hub. Secured Virtual Hub can be used as a Virtual WAN Hub for connectivity purposes and as such, all existing and future vWAN billing apply.
Hub virtual network: This is a standard Azure virtual network. The user creates the hub virtual network that contains the firewall, and peer the spoke virtual networks that contains workload servers and services.
In Azure Firewall Manager, the user can manage Azure DDoS Protection plans and Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) policies alongside Azure Firewall deployments. (Support for both Azure DDoS Protection and Azure WAF policies is in preview).
