This intermediate module explores the critical role of Web Application Firewalls (WAF) in cloud-native architectures. You will learn how to configure and optimize cloud WAFs (such as AWS WAF, Azure WAF, and Cloudflare), deploy managed rule sets, write effective custom rules to block application-layer attacks, and implement rate limiting and bot protection. The curriculum also covers common WAF evasion techniques and how to tune WAF configurations to minimize false positives while maximizing security coverage for your cloud applications.
