Which AWS service will meet these requirements?
AWS WAF
AWS Shield Standard
Amazon Macie
AWS Shield Advanced
Explanations:
AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) helps protect web applications from common web exploits but does not provide dedicated DDoS protection or a dedicated team for DDoS incidents. It focuses on filtering and monitoring HTTP requests based on defined rules.
AWS Shield Standard provides basic protection against DDoS attacks but lacks the comprehensive features and support that come with Shield Advanced. It does not include a dedicated AWS team to assist with DDoS attacks, making it less suitable for the company’s needs.
Amazon Macie is a data security and privacy service that uses machine learning to discover and protect sensitive data in AWS. It does not provide DDoS protection or visibility into attacks on resources such as Load Balancers or CloudFront distributions.
AWS Shield Advanced offers enhanced DDoS protection, including near real-time visibility into attacks, and provides access to a dedicated AWS team for assistance during DDoS incidents. This makes it the best option for protecting the company’s resources.
As I understand it, the answer is:
AWS Shield Advanced
