Managed Rules
for AWS WAF
Managed rules for AWS WAF are designed to help you spend less time writing firewall rules
and more time building applications.
What are Managed Rules?
Managed rules for AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) are a set of rules written, curated and managed by Cyber Security CLoud and other AWS Marketplace Sellers that can be easily deployed in front of your web applications running on Amazon CloudFront, AWS Application Load Balancers, or Amazon API Gateway.
With these managed rules, you can quickly get started and protect your web application or APIs against common threats like the OWASP Top 10 security risks, threats specific to Content Management Systems (CMS) like WordPress or Joomla, or even emerging Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) without having to manage infrastructure.
How do I use them?
Enabling managed rules on AWS WAF is simple
-
Go to AWS Marketplace or to the AWS WAF Console
-
Discover and subscribe to your managed rules
-
Associate the rules with your AWS WAF web ACL

How to use Cyber Security Cloud Managed Rules for AWS WAF
Architecture sample
Managed Rules are
better with WafCharm !
Managed Rules can simplify the operations of AWS WAF. However, by using it together with “WafCharm”, a service for automatic optimization of AWS WAF rules, more flexible and robust security measures can be implemented.
Real-Time Notifications
When using Managed Rules, it is not possible to know the detection status of each rule in real-time.
However, by using it together with WafCharm, you can receive false-positive and actual attack status notifications via e-mail.
More Intuitive Controls
over Managed Rules
Customers using WafCharm can control Managed Rules through their own management. And, since individual rules of Managed Rules can be confirmed in a list, it is easier to know which rule triggered the detection and switch that particular rule to COUNT mode.
Signature customization
You can change the setting of the corresponding rule to count from the AWS Management console.
