a)AWS WAF(Web Application Firewall) is a firewall that helps you to protect your web application server against a range of Internet threats.

b) With AWS WAF, you can create security rules that control bot traffic and block common attack patterns such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS).

AWS WAF features

Web traffic filtering--AWS WAF lets you create rules to filter web traffic based on conditions that include IP addresses, HTTP headers etc. This gives you an additional layer of protection from web attacks that attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in custom or third party web applications.

AWS WAF Bot Control--Bot Control enables you to monitor bot traffic activity with dashboards that provide detailed, real-time visibility into bot categories, identities, and other bot traffic details.

Full feature API--AWS WAF can be completely administered via APIs. For example, a developer who has detailed knowledge of the web application could create a security rule as part of the deployment process. This capability to incorporate security into your development process avoids the need for complex handoffs between application and security teams
