Скачать или смотреть Episode 40: WAF & Shield (DDoS & Firewall)

In this episode, we focus on AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) and AWS Shield, two essential services that protect your applications from security threats, including DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks. AWS WAF helps safeguard your web applications by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic to and from your AWS resources, allowing you to set custom security rules to block malicious traffic. We’ll guide you through setting up AWS WAF, defining rules to protect your web applications, and integrating it with services like Amazon CloudFront and API Gateway for comprehensive protection.


We’ll also cover AWS Shield, a managed DDoS protection service that defends against both volumetric and application-layer DDoS attacks. AWS Shield comes in two tiers: Shield Standard, which provides automatic protection for all AWS customers, and Shield Advanced, which offers enhanced protection and access to DDoS cost protection. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to use AWS WAF and Shield together to protect your web applications and AWS resources from a wide range of cyber threats. These services are crucial for maintaining the security and availability of your applications in the face of growing DDoS risks.
