WAF
Optimize Your WAF Capabilities: Expert Specialists Delivering Cutting-Edge Security Solutions and Leading Advanced Web Application Protection Strategies Globally
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) acts as a dedicated security layer for HTTP applications by enforcing a set of rules during HTTP interactions. These rules are designed to defend against common vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection. Unlike proxies that primarily protect clients, WAFs are tailored to shield servers. Typically deployed to safeguard particular web applications, a WAF functions as a reverse proxy. It may be available as an appliance, a server plugin, or a filter, and can be customized for specific applications. Customization efforts can be substantial and must be continuously updated as applications change.

AWS WAF - Web Application Firewall
AWS WAF is a specialized web application firewall that protects your applications from common web exploits that can disrupt availability, compromise security, or use excessive resources. It provides the ability to define customizable web security rules to control which traffic is permitted or blocked. AWS WAF allows you to create rules to block common threats like SQL injection and cross-site scripting, and to customize rules for your application’s specific needs. New rules can be implemented quickly, enabling rapid response to traffic changes. AWS WAF includes a robust API for automating rule management, and pricing is based on the number of deployed rules and web requests, with no upfront costs. It can be deployed on Amazon CloudFront or the Application Load Balancer (ALB) for your EC2 instances.
