What is AWS Web Application Firewall?

AWS WAF helps you protect against common web exploits and bots that can affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect web applications from attacks by allowing you to configure rules that allow, block, or monitor (count) web requests based on conditions that you define. These conditions include IP addresses, HTTP headers, HTTP body, URI strings, SQL injection and cross-site scripting.

Guarding the Cloud: AWS WAF Review

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates AWS Web Application Firewall from other similar products?

It provides a barrier between external and internal network traffic. It helps us to protect from common web attacks and vulnerabilities. It is highly scalable. It gives us flexibility to create custom rules. Also it offers comprehensive logging and monitoring capabilities.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I mostly like its logging and monitoring part because of this we can set up alerts on blocked traffics. And also its scalability.

What do you dislike most about this product?

As I am the user of this I felt that sometimes it is little bit costly if we use multiple WAFs for our wide range of projects.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would highly recommend this to others because it is scalable, and also by using AWS WAF we can easily block any unwanted traffic and also it works as a shield for us in case of any common web attacks.
