implementing-cloud-waf-rules
Deploys and tunes Web Application Firewall rules on AWS WAF, Azure WAF, and Cloudflare, covering managed rule sets, custom business-logic rules, rate limiting, bot management, and false-positive reduction. Use when deploying new apps behind a cloud WAF, when pentests reveal injection/XSS flaws, when facing bot or credential-stuffing traffic, or when compliance (e.g. PCI-DSS) mandates a WAF.

# Implementing Cloud WAF Rules
## When to Use
- When deploying new web applications or APIs behind cloud load balancers requiring OWASP protection
- When application penetration testing reveals SQL injection, XSS, or other injection vulnerabilities
- When experiencing brute force, credential stuffing, or bot attacks against authentication endpoints
- When compliance requirements mandate a WAF for PCI-DSS or similar standards
- When tuning WAF rules to reduce false positives blocking legitimate application traffic
**Do not use** for network-level DDoS protection (use AWS Shield or Azure DDoS Protection), for API authentication design (see managing-cloud-identity-with-okta), or for application code-level security fixes (WAF is a compensating control, not a replacement for secure code).
## Prerequisites
