About this API
AWS WAFV2 is the latest iteration of Amazon Web Services' Web Application Firewall API, released in November 2019. It provides developers and security teams with tools to manage and configure firewall rules that protect web applications from common web exploits and vulnerabilities.
This API is relevant for organizations looking to enhance their web application security posture by defining custom rules and policies to filter and monitor HTTP traffic. It integrates within the AWS ecosystem, allowing users to leverage AWS infrastructure and security best practices.
