A public citizen portal needs filtering for common web exploits in HTTP requests, while a separate concern is absorbing large volumetric DDoS floods. Which service pairing matches those attack types?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Web exploit noise in the HTTP request? That is WAF territory. A traffic tidal wave trying to knock the site over? That is Shield’s DDoS lane. Match the attack to the tool.
Full Explanation
AWS WAF evaluates web requests and can block common exploits using rule sets. AWS Shield provides DDoS protection, with Shield Standard included and Shield Advanced offering enhanced protections. Inspector assesses workloads for vulnerabilities and exposures; it is not the primary live DDoS scrubbing service. Backup restores data and is not an HTTP exploit filter. Matching web filtering to WAF and volumetric DDoS to Shield is the required distinction.
