AWS WAF

AWS WAF acts as a web application firewall, sitting in front of your applications to filter out malicious traffic before it reaches your backend. It handles the routine job of blocking common attack vectors like SQL injection or cross-site scripting, effectively serving as a gatekeeper for your public-facing endpoints.

This service is ideal for teams already operating within the AWS ecosystem who need immediate protection without complex procurement hurdles. The standout feature here is the pricing model: it offers an always-free tier, removing the typical cost barrier associated with enterprise-grade security tools and making it accessible for smaller projects or initial testing phases.
