AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect your AWS resources from malicious attacks. AWS WAF rules are a way to define actions that AWS WAF should take in response to various types of attacks.

PRO TIP: AWS WAF rules are used to protect web applications from common web exploits that could affect application availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources.

AWS WAF can protect your web applications by checking requests for common attack patterns and taking appropriate actions, such as blocking traffic from known malicious IP addresses, sending warning messages to the application owner, or terminating the connection. You can create rules to protect your web applications by using the AWS WAF console, the AWS WAF API, or the AWS WAF Rules Manager.
