Azure Firewall Manager is now generally available and includes Azure Firewall Policy, Azure Firewall in a Virtual WAN Hub (Secure Virtual Hub), and Hub Virtual Network. In addition, we are introducing several new capabilities to Firewall Manager and Firewall Policy to align with the standalone Azure Firewall configuration capabilities. Key features in this release include: Firewall Policy is an Azure resource that contains network address translation (NAT), network, and application rule collections, as well as threat intelligence and DNS settings. It’s a global resource that can be used across multiple Azure Firewall instances in Secured Virtual Hubs and Hub Virtual Networks.

You can now configure virtual hubs with Azure Firewall for private traffic (virtual network to virtual network/branch to virtual network) filtering and a security partner of your choice for internet (virtual network to internet/branch to internet) traffic filtering.
