Improving security and performance with additional DNS resource record types in Amazon Route 53
DNS is a key component of modern computing, a phone book for IP addresses. It is distinct from other protocols in the application stack. Because it is queried early in the request by a client, DNS is well suited to relay application-specific information back to a client as early as possible. This additional data can […]
Optimizing web application user experiences with AWS WAF JavaScript integrations
AWS WAF Bot Control uses CAPTCHA and Challenge actions to undertake a browser interaction before permitting requests to protected resources. These actions can result in a poor user experience because of application errors or unexpected CAPTCHA completion when AWS WAF unexpectedly blocks requests. The AWS WAF JavaScript integrations give you the ability to control these […]
