AWS aws_web_application_firewall Mappings

The AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects web applications and Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) from exploits and bots that may impact the availability and security of resources by filtering out unwanted or malicious web traffic based on a set of rules. AWS WAF can be configured to control how Amazon CloudFront, Amazon API Gateway REST API, Application Load Balancer, and AWS AppSync GraphQL API respond to web requests. This mapping focuses on the AWS Managed Rules rule groups currently available. It does not cover paid solutions from Amazon or managed rules from Amazon Marketplace.
