Introduction
In today’s digital landscape, web applications are increasingly vulnerable to a wide array of security threats. As businesses expand their online presence, safeguarding web applications from malicious activities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks has become paramount. This case study explores how AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) was employed to enhance the security of a client’s application hosted on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), exposed through AWS CloudFront, and accessible from the public internet. By implementing AWS WAF, we achieved robust threat mitigation, real-time monitoring, and ensured compliance with industry security standards.
