HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

Leverage AWS WAF to manage the behavior of an Amazon CloudFront distribution, an Amazon API Gateway REST API, an Application Load Balancer, or an AWS AppSync GraphQL API in response to incoming web requests.

Create a Policy

  • Define a Web Access Control List (ACL) as a central policy framework.
  • Set rules to evaluate web requests (allow, block, or count).
  • Customize conditions like IP address, geographic location, or headers.
  • Include rules for request body content filtering.
  • Use managed rule groups for common threats like OWASP vulnerabilities.

Block and Filter

  • Block requests from specific IP addresses or IP ranges.
  • Restrict requests based on geographic location.
  • Set size constraints to block oversized requests.
  • Prevent common attacks like SQL injection and XSS.
  • Apply rate-based rules to limit excessive requests from users.

Monitor Traffic

  • View real-time metrics on web traffic in the AWS Management Console.
  • Analyze request logs for unusual patterns or malicious behavior.
  • Identify traffic sources to refine rules and policies.
  • Track the effectiveness of your rules over time.
  • Integrate with Amazon CloudWatch to set alerts for suspicious activities.

AWS WAF features

Web Traffic Filtering

AWS WAF lets you create rules to filter web traffic based on conditions that include IP addresses, HTTP headers and body, or custom URIs. This gives you an additional layer of protection from web attacks that attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in custom or third party web applications.

AWS WAF Bot Control

AWS WAF Bot Control is a managed rule group that gives you visibility and control over common and pervasive bot traffic that can consume excess resources, skew metrics, cause downtime, or perform other undesired activities. With just a few clicks, you can block, or rate-limit, pervasive bots, such as scrapers, scanners, and crawlers, or you can allow common bots, such as status monitors and search engines.

Account Takeover Fraud Prevention

AWS WAF Fraud Control - Account Takeover Prevention is a managed rule group that monitors your application’s login page for unauthorized access to user accounts using compromised credentials.

Account Creation Fraud Prevention

Account Creation Fraud Prevention is a managed rule group that monitors your application’s sign-up or registration page for creation of fake or fraudulent accounts. You can use the rule group to help protect against abuse such as promotional or sign-up abuse, loyaly or rewards abuse and phishing.

Real-time visibility

AWS WAF provides real-time metrics and captures raw requests that include details about IP addresses, geo locations, URIs, User-Agent and Referrers.

Integration with AWS Firewall Manager

You can centrally configure and manage AWS WAF deployments across multiple AWS accounts by using AWS Firewall Manager. Firewall Manager automatically audits and informs your security team when there is a policy violation, so they can respond immediately and take action.
