Without a web application firewall (WAF), even the cloud is not secure
As a platform for public cloud services, Amazon Web Services (AWS) delivers various offerings such as virtual machines, databases, AI solutions and many other IT services for countless companies worldwide. Amazon operates the data centres and is responsible for the security of this infrastructure – "Security of the Cloud". In a shared security model, on the other hand, cloud customers are responsible for protecting the applications and networks they operate in the cloud and thus the security of their data – "Security in the Cloud".
Incoming and outgoing data streams are the site of attacks and it is therefore important that customers secure their digital property with a firewall that provides security to suit each type of application.
A web application firewall (WAF) is generally referred to as a security system that monitors data traffic as well as IT systems and their applications or data in the cloud and agilely protects them from web attacks. The provider landscape is diverse and often highly specialised. However, AWS also offers its customers a firewall itself in order to close security gaps in a targeted manner. AWS provides this "Web Application Firewall" (WAF), which promises security "with just a few clicks", according to the provider.
