    AWS WAF integration

    Optional compensating rules in AWS WAF, for cover while the pull request that fixes the finding ships.

    Integration details

    Primary category

    Web Application Firewall

    Sync direction

    Findings are ingested from AWS WAF into Konvu. Based on your workflow, Konvu can then push context, status changes, and severity updates back to AWS WAF.

    What is AWS WAF?

    AWS WAF is Amazon's managed web application firewall service that protects applications behind CloudFront, Application Load Balancer, API Gateway, and AppSync with custom rules and managed rule groups.

    Why connect AWS WAF to Konvu

    • Add a temporary AWS WAF rule for a finding Konvu has already proven exploitable, so exposure narrows while the upgrade goes through review.
    • Test every rule against known exploit signatures and a sample of legitimate traffic before deployment, with rollback if false-positive rates go bad.
    • Retire rules once Konvu confirms the upstream fix has shipped, so compensating controls don't silently become permanent.

    How it works

    1

    Receive exploit conditions

    Konvu reads the verified exploit path from a finding it has already proven exploitable.

    2

    Draft & test rule

    An AWS WAF rule is drafted scoped to the vulnerable code path and tested against the exploit signature and your legitimate traffic.

    3

    Deploy with approval flow

    The rule is deployed to your AWS WAF Web ACL via the approval flow your team has configured.

    4

    Monitor & retire

    Blocks and false positives are monitored in production; the rule is removed once Konvu confirms the upstream fix is live.
