What differentiates AWS Web Application Firewall from other similar products?

Amazon Web Services provides in-built firewall to the customer is known as AWS Web Application Firewall.(AWS WAF). Unlike other similar products, AWS WAF provides many default Firewall rules which explicitly blocks the malicious traffic from entering into VPC, no need to configure complex rules.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of AWS WAF is the numbers of default firewall rules. They are providing the extra layer of protection, with Web Access Control lists, which are many by default. It's pricing is also fair. Also, decreases the overhead of managing a external firewall such as Palo Alto..

What do you dislike most about this product?

WAF cannot be used for our onprem legacy apps. Also the training available is not very good.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If your applications are hosted in AWS Cloud, please go for it.

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
