Security Automations for AWS WAF
Deploy a set of preconfigured AWS WAF rules to filter common web-based attacks
Overview
Security Automations for AWS WAF automatically deploys a set of AWS WAF (web application firewall) rules that filter common web-based attacks. You can select from preconfigured protective features that define the rules included in an AWS WAF web access control list (ACL). Once deployed, AWS WAF protects your Amazon CloudFront distributions or Application Load Balancers by inspecting web requests.
You can use AWS WAF to create custom, application-specific rules that block attack patterns to help ensure application availability, secure resources, and prevent excessive resource consumption.
This AWS Solution supports the latest version of the AWS WAF (AWS WAFV2) service API.
