Enhance application security at the edge with AWS
summary
Demonstrates building a baseline web ACL in AWS WAF and the one‑click option in Amazon CloudFront, applying three AWS managed rules — Amazon IP reputation list, the core rule set (OWASP‑aligned), and known bad inputs — in count/monitor mode. Demo creates a CloudFront distribution, attaches the rules, and shows immediate visibility: typical accounts report 47–51% bot traffic (retail up to 80–90%), so the policy deploys successfully and surfaces actionable rule matches.
