That vantage point is at the core of the new offering.
Lumen Defender Managed Rules is delivered as a managed rule group for AWS Network Firewall.
Customers subscribe through AWS Marketplace and can then attach the rule group to their existing AWS Network Firewall deployments directly from the AWS console. [...]

The announcement effectively extends Lumen's Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform far beyond its existing footprint, allowing organizations to provision high-performance, scalable internet access in minutes - regardless of whether their sites fall within Lumen's owned network.
