Azure Firewall Integration Guide

Azure Firewall provides cloud-native network security with IP Groups for efficient blocklist management. This guide shows you how to integrate Fraudcache threat feeds.

Azure Firewall Overview

Azure Firewall is a managed, cloud-based network security service that protects your Azure Virtual Network resources. It supports IP Groups for organizing and managing large sets of IP addresses.

Integration Steps

1. Create an IP Group - In the Azure portal, create a new IP Group to hold your blocklist IP addresses.
2. Add Firewall Rule - Create a network rule collection with a deny rule referencing your IP Group.
3. Automate Updates - Use Azure Functions or Logic Apps to periodically fetch Fraudcache feeds and update the IP Group.

Best Practices

• Use Network Rule Collections - Create organized rule collections that reference IP Groups for easier management.
• Enable Diagnostics - Configure diagnostic logging to monitor blocked traffic and detect false positives.

Conclusion

Azure Firewall integration with Fraudcache provides cloud-native protection that scales with your Azure infrastructure. By automating IP Group updates, you maintain current protection without manual intervention.
