AWS announced a preview for Palo Alto Networks Advanced DNS Security on Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall, enabling DNS threat enforcement directly via console rules. Customers can apply multiple security categories like malware and phishing without deploying separate firewalls or complex VPC changes.

This integration allows protection of DNS traffic from VPCs and hybrid environments, supports multi-account management, and centralizes findings in AWS Security Hub. The service is available in selected AWS regions with no extra DNS Firewall charges during preview.
