Introduction to AWS WAF

AWS WAF (AWS Web Application Firewall) is a Web Application Firewall service provided by Amazon Web Services. This service helps you protect your web applications and APIs from external attacks that can affect performance, information security, or consume system resources.

Using AWS WAF is an effective way to protect your web applications. AWS WAF can mitigate threats from security vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting (XSS), and other common attacks listed in the OWASP Top 10. It allows you to create custom rules to control blocking or allowing HTTP requests from outside before they reach your application.
