    Overview

    We design, build, and operate your AWS WAF foundation so teams ship fast—without sacrificing security. Protect web apps and APIs from OWASP Top 10, bad bots, and L7 DDoS with policy-as-code, CI/CD, and continuous tuning.

    Key Features

    Discover how AWS WAF can secure your business

    Managed + Custom Rules

    AWS Managed Rule Groups (Core, Known Bad Inputs, SQLi/XSS) combined with app‑aware custom statements, regex patterns, and IP reputation lists.

    Bot Control & Rate Limiting

    Detect & throttle abusive traffic, enforce per‑path or per‑token limits, and challenge suspicious clients.

    L7 DDoS Resilience

    Integrates with AWS Shield Advanced and CloudFront to absorb spikes and block application‑layer floods.

    Staged Deployments

    Count mode, shadow WebACLs, and blue/green cutovers reduce risk and ease rule tuning.

    Observability

    Real‑time metrics, sampled requests, CloudWatch dashboards, and log shipping to S3/OpenSearch with Athena queries.

    Cost Controls

    Scope‑down statements and targeted rule ordering to minimize WCU usage and avoid noisy matches.

    Use Cases

    Discover how WAF can help your specific use case

    E‑commerce & Payments

    Block carding, credential stuffing, and checkout abuse while keeping performance high worldwide via CloudFront.

    SaaS & APIs

    Protect multi‑tenant APIs behind API Gateway or ALB; apply tenant‑aware rate limits and custom auth signals.

    Regulated Workloads

    Meet security baselines for fintech/health/government with audit‑ready IaC and change history.

    Service Delivery Approach

    Assessment

    Threat modeling, traffic baselining, and review of current CloudFront/ALB/API Gateway setup. Define SLOs and success metrics.

    Build

    Create WebACLs, rule groups, IP sets, and logging pipelines with Terraform/CDK modules. Integrate with CI/CD.

    Validate

    Shadow/Count mode, synthetic tests, and canary flips. Tune rules to reduce false positives and optimize WCUs.

    Run

    Dashboards, alerts, playbooks & runbooks. Optional managed service with continuous tuning and quarterly reviews.

    AWS Native Integration

    Built on AWS's most powerful services

    CloudFront (edge protection, geo/IP filters)
    Application Load Balancer (L7 routing + WebACL)
    API Gateway (REST/HTTP APIs protection)
    AWS Shield Advanced (DDoS detection & response)
    Route 53 (DNS protections & health checks)
    CloudWatch & Kinesis Firehose (metrics & log delivery)
    OpenSearch / S3 / Athena (log analytics & forensics)
    IAM & Organizations (least privilege & multi‑account)
    CodePipeline / GitHub Actions (policy‑as‑code CI/CD)

    FAQs

    How do you minimize false positives?

    We start in Count mode with sampled‑request analysis, add scope‑down statements, and roll out with canaries before enforcing Block.

    Can this run across multiple accounts?

    Yes—via AWS Firewall Manager and Organizations with centralized governance and delegated administration.
