Network Firewall Policy

A Network Firewall Policy in AWS defines the set of rules and default actions that Network Firewall uses to filter traffic in your VPC. It allows you to manage and enforce network security measures effectively by specifying how different types of traffic should be handled. For more detailed information, refer to the official AWS documentation here.
