What is the purpose of "AWS Shield" and "AWS WAF", and how do they complement each other?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) AWS Shield protects against DDoS attacks at network/transport layers (Shield Advanced adds more), while AWS WAF protects against app-layer attacks (SQL injection, XSS) by filtering HTTP/HTTPS via configurable rules; together they cover multiple layers
Correct Answer
AWS Shield protects against DDoS attacks at network/transport layers (Shield Advanced adds more), while AWS WAF protects against app-layer attacks (SQL injection, XSS) by filtering HTTP/HTTPS via configurable rules; together they cover multiple layers
Shield (Standard, included by default, or Advanced for additional cost) defends against volumetric/network-layer DDoS, while WAF inspects application-layer traffic for malicious patterns, allowing custom rules to block specific attack signatures or suspicious request patterns.
