AWS WAF reduces web application security configuration steps and provides expert-level protection
Dubai, UAE – AWS has announced general availability of the AWS WAF simplified console experience that reduces web application security configuration steps by up to 80% and provides expert-level protection to help optimize application security. AWS WAF helps protect web applications and APIs against common web exploits and bots that could affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. Security teams can now implement comprehensive protection for applications within minutes through pre-configured protection packs that incorporate AWS security expertise and are continuously updated to address emerging threats. These templates provide extensive security coverage including protection against common web vulnerabilities, malicious bot traffic, application layer DDoS events, and API-specific threats, all customized to your application type. With the new console experience, select the application type, such as E-commerce platforms or transaction processing applications, to automatically apply expert-curated protection rules optimized for the specific use case. The unified dashboard provides consolidated security metrics, threat detection, and rule performance data, enabling security teams to quickly identify and respond to potential threats while maintaining full security control. Key security controls, including rate limiting, geographic restrictions, and IP reputation filtering, can be customized through an intuitive single-page interface that reduces configuration time. The new AWS WAF console experience is available in all AWS Regions. About Amazon Web Services Since 2006, Amazon Web Services has been the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud.
