Web application protection on AWS
summary
AWS describes a concrete stack: Shield Advanced includes AWS WAF and Firewall Manager and adds 24/7 Shield Response Team support, L3/L4 adaptive detection, L7 anomaly baselining and Route 53 health checks. Firewall Manager centrally deploys policies, can auto‑rollback noncompliant resources and feeds Security Hub. WAF offers AWS managed rules, partner rule marketplace, and a new bot control managed rule with scope‑down plus reporting. A real customer case shows the team blocked 4,000+ IPs and added WAF rules to stop errors; Shield also provides cost‑scaling compensation via a SIM ticket.
