I want to add additional security for my azure web app through IPS and IDS.

Wanted to know if we have any solution in azure? -

Does Azure Firewall has capability for IPS and IDS?

Any suggestion if thirdparty tool or service needs to be used?

    Hi,
    Azure Firewall offers IPS/IDS. There is also official recommendation from Azure Security Center about this. From that doc you can even find a link to third party solutions you can integrate within Azure. Azure WAF is also used for web applications.

    Full disclosure - I am employed by Fortinet - which just happens to offer a NGFW with extensive filtering including intrusion detection and/or prevention based on payload inspection. We are also the Microsoft Commercial Marketplace Partner of the year. You can take a look at our offerings here (start with the FortiGate listing):

    @Harshal Kothavade

    As mentioned, Azure does not do intrusion detection and/or prevention based on payload inspection. You could use something like Sophos Firewall that does payload inspection. Here is the link for the same in Azure Marketplace- https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/sophos.sophos-xg-firewall-solution?tab=overview.

    Please let us know if you have further questions/concerns. Thank you!
