The service is signature-based and hunts for the patterns of known malware.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the service will terminate outbound and east-west TLS connections to permit inspection before the traffic is re-encrypted and sent on its way. Those still clinging to old versions of TLS and wishing to make use of the feature will need to upgrade to TLS 1.2 since Microsoft is serious about deprecating TLS 1.0 and 1.1.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of management, a new Firewall policy tier has been added, comprising Standard and Premium policies. Although Firewall Classic rules remain supported, Microsoft is keen that customers use the Migrate to Firewall policy option to shift rules to the new tier.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Migrating to Firewall Policy does not incur any downtime,&#8221; said the company before sounding a cautious note with &#8220;but it is recommended that you migrate during maintenance hours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"falcon\" data-xsm=\",button,dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",button,dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\" data-md=\",button,dbutton,mpu_plus,dmpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YC1S01sWDVPkbtffrqo02wAAAMA&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44YC1S01sWDVPkbtffrqo02wAAAMA&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>Although the Firewall Policy Standard tier is Generally Available and provides a full SLA, the additional Premium toys remain in preview.
