What differentiates AWS Web Application Firewall from other similar products?

AWS WAF is a web application firewall that assists in defending online applications against frequent web exploits that can damage uptime, jeopardize security, or use up unnecessary resources. There is only one place to go therefore no more work is required. AWS WAF can handle practically everything.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The WAF by AWS is a crucial tool that may provide an additional layer of security against DDOS attacks and other threats that might destroy your system at any time. The rules and limitations to block nations and view logs are excellent. The biggest feature of this application is that it is simple to use and constantly updated with fresh signatures for zero days.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Despite being simpler to set up, it doesn't provide complete security. Companies in the payment gateway industry, for instance, won't benefit from waf because the minimum threshold per source-based IP is 100, which means that if a specific IP attempts 100 times in 5 minutes, it will be blocked. As hackers increasingly use multiple IP addresses, this rule becomes ineffective.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We have been utilizing WAF and advising it to various clients. Multiple managed protection plans are offered by WAF, and third-party services are integrated. The finest feature is how simple it is to configure and interact with a middleware, API gateway, or CloudFront. Additionally, it is easy to use.
