AWS WAF

Challenges of Web Application Firewalls

Setup is complex and slow

Too many false positives

Limited APIs for automation

Expensive to implement and

maintain

AWS WAF

Fast Incident Response

PreconfiguredProtection

APIs for Automation

Flexible Rule Language

A web application firewall designed to help youdefend against common web application exploits

What is AWS WAF

Web traffic filtering with custom rules

Malicious request blocking

Active monitoringand tuning

How Does AWS WAF Protect You?

Security Automations

Preconfigured Protections

Highly Flexible Rule Language


ü Quick Incident Responseü Mitigations in < ~1 Min

ü Inspect Any Part of the Request





You can get started quickly with built-in rules based on common use-cases.
