Protect cloud applications from attacks with the AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Successful use of the Amazon Firewall solution must be planned
(PresseBox) - Times are uncertain and it is not just the Ukraine war that has made it clear that security leaks in IT structures can jeopardise the functioning of goods flows and production. As early as 2021, nearly 9 out of 10 companies were victims of cyber attacks. IT infrastructures for most companies and organisations today are also cloud infrastructures. Cloud providers and customers share responsibility for cyber security and compliance. AWS customers can choose between Amazon services and several other firewall providers for the security of their applications and data. Even if the decision is made in favour of the provider s solution, the implementation is not trivial and must be well prepared.
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.
And this is how it continues:
