What is AWS WAF?
AWS WAF is Amazon's managed web application firewall service that protects applications behind CloudFront, Application Load Balancer, API Gateway, and AppSync with custom rules and managed rule groups.
Why connect AWS WAF to Konvu
- Let the Mitigation Engineer ship targeted AWS WAF rules for exploitable findings the Application Security Engineer has confirmed, closing the exploit window in minutes.
- Test every rule against known exploit signatures and a sample of legitimate traffic before deployment, with rollback if false-positive rates go bad.
- Retire rules automatically when the Remediation Engineer confirms the upstream fix has shipped, so compensating controls don't silently become permanent.
How it works
Receive exploit conditions
The Mitigation Engineer reads the verified exploit path from the Application Security Engineer.
Draft & test rule
An AWS WAF rule is drafted scoped to the vulnerable code path and tested against the exploit signature and your legitimate traffic.
Deploy with approval flow
The rule is deployed to your AWS WAF Web ACL via the approval flow your team has configured.
Monitor & retire
Blocks and false positives are monitored in production; the rule is removed once the Remediation Engineer confirms the fix is live.
