Experience the latest evolution in managing your web application protection. A significant update to the console for your AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) is here, bringing a host of improvements designed to make securing your applications easier and more effective than ever before.
The new console presents a dramatically improved user interface, starting with a unified dashboard that provides an immediate, high-level overview of your security posture and traffic. This means you can quickly see how your security rules are performing and identify potential issues at a glance. Navigating through your web access control lists (web ACLs), rule groups, and rules is now much more intuitive, streamlining the process of configuring and maintaining your security policies.
Managing rule groups has been simplified, allowing for quicker creation, editing, and deployment of your protection logic. For troubleshooting and understanding why specific requests were blocked or allowed, the enhanced debugging capabilities, including improved request sampling and integrated logging, are invaluable tools. You get better real-time visibility into the traffic hitting your applications and how AWS WAF is processing it.
Monitoring the effectiveness of your web security is also significantly enhanced. With improved metrics and visualization, you can easily track request counts, blocked traffic, and other crucial data points. This helps you quickly react to web threats and fine-tune your rules for optimal performance and protection. The overall goal of the new console is to empower users to manage their application security with greater efficiency and confidence, making it simpler to protect against common web exploits. This updated experience represents a major step forward in providing robust and user-friendly tools for safeguarding your web applications.
