AWS Application Load Balancer announces one-click WAF integrations
News
The article discusses a new integration between AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) and AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) that allows customers to enable recommended WAF protections with a single click from the ALB console.
Specifically, the article covers:
- Previously, customers had to pre-configure a web access control list (web ACL) with desired security rules in AWS WAF and associate it with their ALB, which required careful planning and interaction with multiple consoles.
- With the new integration, ALB can automatically create and configure AWS WAF with AWS-recommended protections for all applications behind the load balancer.
- Customers can enable this one-click WAF integration from the ALB console for both new and existing load balancers.
- This integration provides a first line of defense against common web threats, and customers can still configure additional protections like bot detection and fraud prevention from the AWS WAF console if needed.
- The feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions, and standard AWS WAF pricing applies.
