As the company is an Amazon customer, the company looked into what other Amazon services could prevent the attack and came across AWS WAF when the attack happened. The tool was also easy to use and could prevent attacks and safeguard the company's product, so the company decided to use AWS WAF.

Previous to this solution, we used Microsoft Azure.

Amazon allows you to provision more services once you have the initial platform in place. Using Amazon Marketplace, it's so simple to provide additional services and functionality so it allows you to grow the capability of the platform with very little integration into other systems because it's all built into the marketplace. With Azure, it's only capable of some products and they don't have APIs available to integrate as well as Amazon does.

We were using ManageEngine. A problem with using ManageEngine was that ManageEngine can help in securing the servers and API gateways and app servers, but it cannot help to tell if there is any breach in security from a company-provided laptop. We needed a better solution that covered this vulnerability.

We have used Fastly before. It is easier to implement but is expensive compared to AWS.

We didn't use any similar solution previously. In the future, we might use another solution, but for now, we are more into AWS WAF.

I was previously using Cisco and I switched to AWS WAF because I was working mostly with cloud environments and needed more services. Additionally, I have used Microsoft Azure.

We used Cloudflare and Palo Alto before. We chose AWS WAF since it integrates with native services.

The main reason we switched from using CloudFlare to AWS is to have a native offering because all of our cloud solutions are on AWS. This made it simpler compared to using a third party and easier to reroute traffic.

Our company didn't have structured security controls before this. We were encountering a lot of problems when it came to security, protection of the documents and system. They restructured the whole system. This is the platform that was recommended to us. Since we started using it, it has been great.

Our previous solution was also a WAF but it was not a scalable environment like the cloud is. Everybody is moving to the cloud. We were stuck on an appliance in our data center and we decided to move. We went with this solution because of the stability and quick response.

We've only used AWS for a few customers. Usually, we recommend a different solution. However, it depends on the client and the type of budget that they have. As one version of AWS is free, sometimes that is the only option.

We were using just the built-in Amazon intrusion detection stuff. Then we decided to go for an actual full-blown WAF. We weren't using any actual WAF before. WAF is a general solution that we knew that we needed. It's a standard security measure.

I previously used a different solution. The complex setup and installation were the main differences between that and WAF. I've worked with system compliance for many years, and it usually involves complex solutions. You have to know the CLF, etc. Cisco, for example, is so complex that you need to know many things. Whereas with WAF, you have to put up your host, your network, and you have the solution up and running.

We have changed solutions because the choice of product depends on the customer's preferences and requirements. When I am working on a contract, I am required to use whatever they ask me to. If I already have the experience then I apply it. Otherwise, I learn what I need to, which sometimes involves taking training courses.
