Hello and welcome to this course where I shall be introducing you to three AWS services which are designed to help protect your web applications from external malicious activity.

Firstly, I shall provide an overview of the Web Application Firewall service, or AWS WAF, as it's more commonly known. I will then explain how Firewall Manager can be used to help with WAF administration across multiple AWS accounts, and then finally, I will explain how AWS Shield is used in conjunction with WAF to help protect you from Distributed Denial of Service attacks, or DDoS.

Before we start this course, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Stuart Scott, I'm one of the trainers here at Cloud Academy, specializing in AWS, Amazon Web Services. Feel free to connect with me with any questions using the details shown on the screen. Alternatively, you can also get in touch with us here at Cloud Academy by sending an e-mail to support@cloudacademy.com.

This course is intended for those who are looking to gain a high-level overview of how these services can be used to help ensure web applications and websites are not compromised or exploited within their environment.

This course will provide you with an understanding of:

What AWS WAF is and what it does
An understanding of how AWS Firewall Manager can be used to help you control AWS WAF across multiple different accounts
How AWS Shield is used to protect against Distributed Denial of Service attacks
