Description

The Azure Firewall Manager experience has been expanded and rebranded as the Network Security Hub—a centralized interface that brings together Azure Firewall, Web Application Firewall (WAF), and DDoS Protection. This change is part of a broader effort to simplify the Azure Networking portfolio and better align with customer needs. 

With this new experience, customers benefit from improved navigation, consolidated service overviews, and enhanced visibility into their security coverage. The landing page now highlights common use cases, documentation, pricing, and recommended scenarios to help users get started faster.  

Key Highlights 

  • Unified experience: Manage Azure Firewall, WAF, and DDoS Protection from a single hub. 
  • Improved visibility: Enhanced coverage dashboard shows protection across virtual networks, hubs, and applications. 
  • Azure Advisor integration: Get personalized recommendations to improve security and optimize performance. 
  • Streamlined navigation: Easier discovery of services like Virtual Hub deployments and Firewall Policies. 
No pricing or support changes to Firewall Manager: This is a UX and naming update only.
