AWS WAF vs. Oracle Dyn Web Application Security Platform

Most suited if you have a very strong presence in AWS. It is natively available as an add on service. You can also track the costs overtime based on usage. There is still a lot of improvement on the features and the user interface that can be implemented over time

Their technical team is great, their portal is easily the best of those I have reviewed it against (including Akamai, CloudFlare, and Imperva), and they are a dedicated technology partner through and through.

• Protect any application against the most common attacks.
• Provides better visibility of web traffic.
• It allows us to control the traffic in different ways in which it is enabled or blocked through the implementation of security rules developed personally according to our needs.
• It is able to block common attacks such as SQL code injection.
• It allows defining specific rules for applications, thus increasing web security as they are developed.

Incentivized

• Pre-populated rulesets - This allows engineers to quickly spin up new WAF instances without the need to configure extensive rulesets.
• Detailed audit logs - Logs show detailed information about traffic hitting the WAF as well as information the rules allowing or blocking the traffic.
• Change Management - Changes can be staged and applied when necessary, without interfering with current traffic.

• AWS WAF is a bit costly if used for single applications.
• they should provide attack-wise protection, like if my certain type of application is vulnerable to DDOS then I should be able to buy WAF, especially for that attack.
• CLI tool to test in offline mode if possible.

• The purchase of Oracle Dyn into Oracle Dyn continues to develop the company, and while the process maturity is wonderful, it is worth mentioning.
• Many businesses were affected when their Express option was yanked from production too rapidly, resulting in significant costs and delays.
• Full 360-degree traffic and data visibility with ADC analytics integration.

The product is highly scalable. It is easy to configure the rules and thereby helps us to mitigate many vulnerabilities. The interface and programming of the firewall provisions were easy to setup. Amazon clearly spent a lot of time figuring this out and perfecting it. It allows users to do customized configurations based on their needs. It provides protection against a number of security issues like XSS, SQL injection, etc. I would definitely recommend this for protecting your infra as you scale, since this basically protects and filters all requests hitting your application server.

Unlike these other AWS tools, WAF provides real-time traffic control, rules that can be customized according to the needs of the user, and is based on an implementation in the cloud which avoids the use of memory on computers as well as an account with a very affordable cost for any user or company

After several years involved with the issue of cyber security and having been very close with distributed denial of service attacks, having used several companies to protect our applications, I decided to opt for Oracle Dyn Web Application Security Platform. Definitely, Oracle Dyn gives my organization the protection we need for our critical applications, far away from the other companies that offer similar services.

Incentivized

• The overall security of the web application increased effectively after deploying AWS WAF
• No negative impacts were seen in the business
• The developers were more confident in the overall security model of the web application being developed and it was easy to integrate WAF into the existing system as the application was also using AWS platform

• Has a user-friendly interface that is both informative and intuitive.
• The client's websites are monitored round-the-clock by a staff that provides quick response in the event of any difficulties.
• Deploying it is a breeze.
