AWS WAF rules can stop attacks that target weaknesses in websites or applications, like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. In AWS WAF, programmers can set restrictions on certain IP addresses, HTTP headers, and URI strings. A developer can also leverage the CloudFront integration of Amazon WAF to offer security to websites hosted elsewhere. The response from AWS WAF is then to either block or approve the request. AWS' content delivery network, Amazon CloudFront, gets a request from a user and sends it to AWS WAF for review. Applications and websites are protected from common Web assaults by AWS WAF, which would otherwise have a detrimental impact on the availability and performance of the applications.ĪWS WAF gives a developer the flexibility to build security rules to allow, restrict or monitor HTTP requests. The security system known as the AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) manages incoming and outgoing traffic for websites and applications hosted by Amazon Web Services.
