The AWS Solutions team has updated the AWS WAF Security Automations solution. AWS WAF is a web application firewall that enables customers to quickly create custom, application-specific rules that block common attack patterns that can affect application availability, or consume excessive resources.

The solution now leverages new AWS WAF features: IPv6 support for scanner and probe protection, and support for non-octet CIDR boundaries for IP reputation. Also, the solution now includes a monitoring dashboard, that can be used to configure a custom baseline monitoring system for each critical endpoint.

Additional AWS Solutions offerings are available on the AWS Answers webpage, where customers can browse common questions by category to find answers in the form of succinct Solution Briefs or comprehensive Solutions, which are AWS-vetted, automated, turnkey reference implementations that address specific business needs.
