AWS Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) Description
AWS Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are cloud-based security services that filter and monitor HTTP/HTTPS traffic between web applications and the internet. The service provides protection against common web exploits and attacks that could affect application availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. AWS WAF includes prebuilt security rules designed to control bot traffic and block known attack patterns. Users can create custom rules tailored to their specific application requirements and security policies. The service integrates with other AWS services and can be deployed across multiple applications and environments. For enterprise deployments, AWS WAF supports centralized management through AWS Firewall Manager, enabling organizations to deploy, update, and manage firewall policies across multiple applications from a single interface. This centralized approach helps maintain consistent security policies and reduces administrative overhead in large-scale environments.
