ScaleSec AWS WAF Implementation

Do your Internet-facing workloads need protection from threats? Work with ScaleSec experts to deploy the AWS WAF to help protect against common web exploits and bots that can affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources.

With AWS WAF you can:

• Filter web traffic: Create rules to filter web requests based on conditions such as IP addresses, HTTP headers and body, or custom URIs.
• Prevent account takeover fraud: Monitor your application’s login page for unauthorized access to user accounts using compromised credentials.
• Define criteria for web requests including IP addresses, geographical restrictions by country, header values, strings, and more. With AWS WAF, you can create security rules that control bot traffic and block common attack patterns such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS).
