Route 53 DNS Firewall + Palo Alto Advanced DNS Security now GA

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 16:35:00 +0000

Platform/SRE — Plan: New GA capability to enforce PANW DNS threat intelligence (C2, malware, phishing, newly registered domains) directly at the VPC DNS layer without deploying separate appliances — worth evaluating this quarter if the org has PANW licensing or wants to strengthen DNS egress controls across VPCs.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Learn: Signals a tighter AWS–Palo Alto integration for DNS security via License Manager and Firewall Manager; relevant background if the org already holds PANW licenses or is evaluating its DNS security vendor posture, but no decision is forced.
Signals: GA announcement
