AWS Web Application Firewall

AWS Web Application Firewall

AWS WAF is a web application firewall service that allows you to protect your web applications and APIs from common Internet threats such as SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting attacks, and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. AWS WAF allows you to define custom rules or use rules managed by AWS or AWS partners to block or allow web traffic based on criteria you specify, such as source IP address, HTTP request type, request body size, or HTTP headers. AWS WAF integrates with Amazon CloudFront, Amazon API Gateway, and Application Load Balancer to provide an additional layer of security for your web applications and APIs.
