Individual skill
implementing-cloud-waf-rules
This skill covers deploying and tuning Web Application Firewall rules on AWS WAF, Azure WAF, and Cloudflare to protect cloud-hosted applications against OWASP Top 10 attacks. It details configuring managed rule sets, creating custom rules for business logic protection, implementing rate limiting, deploying bot management, and reducing false positives through rule tuning and logging analysis.

# 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).
