AWS WAF

Overview

AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) is engineered to protect your web applications and APIs from common exploits and vulnerabilities, ensuring both their availability and security. It delivers comprehensive monitoring and management of web requests targeting secured AWS resources such as Amazon CloudFront distributions, Amazon API Gateway RESTAPIs, Application Load Balancers, and AWS AppSync GraphQL APIs.

With AWS WAF, you can perform meticulous inspections of web traffic based on specified rules, such as IP address and request rate. It offers flexible options to manage incoming requests—whether counting, blocking, allowing, or challenging users with CAPTCHA puzzles. AWS simplifies administration with Firewall Manager, which uniformly applies firewall rules across multiple accounts and resources, ensuring that newly added assets are consistently protected.

By implementing AWS WAF, organization scan effectively shield their applications from prevalent threats and maintain a seamless and efficient security strategy across their AWS environment.
