Hello joseph,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this item.

Based on this AWS Documentation, “You can use a web application firewall (WAF) to protect your web applications against attacks that attempt to exploit a vulnerability in your website. Common examples include SQL injection or cross-site request forgery. You can also use a firewall to detect and mitigate web application layer DDoS attacks.”
