AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) is a cloud-based security service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that helps you to protect web applications from common web exploits and attacks. It acts as a protective shield between your web application and the threats over the internet, allowing you to define rules to filter and monitor incoming traffic to your application.

NETSOL in partnership with AWS brings decades of transformation, modernization, migration and analytics experience combined with highly skilled AWS resources.
Here are some benefits of using AWS WAF:
Protection against web attacks:
AWS WAF helps protect your web applications from common web exploits such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). It allows you to define rules to block or allow specific types of traffic, adding an additional layer of security.
Managed and scalable service
AWS WAF is a fully managed service, AWS automatically handles the underlying infrastructure, maintenance, and updates for you. Without being worried about hardware or software installations. Additionally, AWS WAF is highly scalable, allowing you to handle increasing levels of traffic without performance degradation.
Customizable rules
With AWS WAF, you have the flexibility to create custom rules as per your specific security requirements. Rules can be defined to block or allow requests based on IP addresses, geographic locations, user agents, or specific patterns in the request content. By this you can tailor the security measures to the specific needs of your application.
Integration with AWS services
It seamlessly integrates with other AWS services, such as Amazon CloudFront (content delivery network) and Application Load Balancer. This integration enables you to protect your web applications deployed on AWS with minimal effort and easily manage your security policies.
Real-time monitoring and logging
AWS WAF provides detailed monitoring and logging capabilities, such as monitor incoming traffic, analyze request patterns, and gain insights into potential threats. The logs generated by AWS WAF can be integrated with other AWS services, such as Amazon CloudWatch or AWS Lambda, for further analysis and automation.
Cost-effective
The pricing is based on the number of web requests processed and the rules applied. This allows you to pay as per your actual usage. As it is a fully managed service, you also save on operational costs related to managing and maintaining your own on-premises firewall infrastructure.
Our Work
Infrastructure Automation and Application Deployment of a Metaverse Application
A web and mobile-based application that needed improvement of existing infrastructure, configuration, provisioning, and application deployment process by following the industry’s (AWS) best practices. NETSOL Technologies Inc., by using AWS CloudFormation, automated the Infrastructure Provisioning for multiple environments. Git-triggered CI/CD pipelines were deployed followed by AWS CodeBuild to achieve application build and deployment. Three-tier application architecture was implemented to separate presentation, application, and database layers. This architecture ensured Security, Scalability, Disaster Recovery and High Availability (using Multi A-Z). Amazon ElastiCache was used to cache frequently accessed data.

Infrastructure Automation and Application Deployment of SaaS based Calculation Engine
Flex is a newly launched product that wanted to utilize the AWS pay-as-you-go model by leveraging Serverless Architecture to ensure implementation of all best practices (Infrastructure Automation, Application Deployment, Security, Scalability, and High Availability). NETSOL Technologies used most of the AWS Managed services i.e., Route53, Lambda, CloudFront, S3, SES, RDS, and so on. Route53 receives requests and after identifying the request type routes it to CloudFront for Web Based Request and API Gateway for API request, respectively. API Gateway handles the REST APIs requests and routes it to associated service provided by Lambda Functions. One-click deployment ensures provisioning, configuration, and management of infrastructure with consistency. CI/CD Pipeline of CodePipeline takes care of the Application Deployment process.
