TechMagic is Now an Official AWS WAF Delivery Partner!

We’re officially recognized by Amazon Web Services for our expertise in implementing and optimizing AWS WAF solutions.

This partnership reflects our persistent commitment to delivering secure, scalable, and high-performance solutions for web app protection.

What is AWS WAF?

AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) is a managed security service that protects web applications and APIs from common threats. It integrates with core AWS services, including Amazon CloudFront, API Gateway, Application Load Balancer (ALB), and AWS AppSync.

Why You Need AWS WAF

AWS WAF is designed to protect web applications from threats that can compromise data, degrade performance, or exhaust system resources. It enables you to detect and mitigate security issues before they impact your users or infrastructure.

Here is what AWS WAF provides.

Protection against the most common cyber attacks

It guards your web applications and APIs against well-known attack vectors such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and request forgery. These are the kinds of vulnerabilities that often go unnoticed until it’s too late, and WAF helps neutralize them in real time.

Custom rule creation for fine-grained control

All apps are different, as are the risks related to them. AWS WAF allows us to tailor rules specific to your business logic. Restricting access by IP, filtering traffic by headers, or blocking suspicious payloads – we can build defenses that fit like a glove.

Bot control and rate-based rules

Malicious bots are a growing threat: from credential stuffing to scraping. With the AWS WAF service, you can throttle requests, block known bot signatures, and apply behavioral analysis to spot anomalies before they become incidents.

Integrated logging and real-time metrics

WAF provides deep visibility into your traffic. With detailed logs and real-time CloudWatch dashboards, you get insight into:

• what’s being blocked,
• what’s getting through,
• and where your application might be exposed.

Seamless integration with other AWS services

AWS WAF works natively with other services such as Amazon CloudFront, API Gateway, Application Load Balancer (ALB), and AWS AppSync. This tight integration helps ensure low latency, simplified deployments, and consistent protection across all entry points of your web stack.

Why Work With an AWS WAF Delivery Partner?

AWS WAF implementation requires a very precise setup to match your specific application logic, risk profile, and compliance requirements.

The AWS Partner Network (APN) awards the WAF Delivery designation only to organizations that have:

• Proven customer success stories.
• Technical proficiency validated by AWS solutions architects.
• Deep knowledge of AWS WAF and related services.

Working with them means you're collaborating with a security-focused team backed by AWS itself.

Secure your growth by partnering with a trusted provider

Usually, when you have already implemented the MVP of your application and your product growth, you will face the need to have several accounts in order to separate your production and testing workloads.

From our experience, at this point, it becomes harder to have only 1 instance of your AWS WAF for both types of workloads because these are two different types of environments that require an appropriate level of protection. For example, imagine that you have an XSS protection rule that blocks the implementation of a rich text editor because it blocks some of the valid payloads. You cannot just simply disable this rule because, in this case, your production becomes unprotected against this type of attack.

Instead, when you have two separate WAF instances for your dev and production workloads, you can safely continue with the implementation of the WYSIWIG editor. Then, once everything is ready for release and tested, deploy it to production along with changes to prod WAF rules.

Managing multiple AWS WAF instances can be a challenging task. Our team have implemented and tested a solution that helps you seamlessly scale your AWS WAF instances and stay up to date with the latest threats to your applications and APIs by implementing detailed WAF monitoring with capabilities to automatically recognize and block malicious actors.– Ihor Sasovets, Lead Security Engineer at TechMagic.

What AWS WAF Delivery Partner status means for TechMagic

As an AWS WAF Delivery Partner, we’ve successfully completed a rigorous technical validation, demonstrating our team’s expertise and adherence to the highest standards of service quality.

1. We follow AWS security best practices

Our team stays aligned with AWS’s developing security guidelines, from rule configuration to traffic monitoring. This ensures your WAF setup is not only robust today but also resilient to arising threats.

2. We customize every WAF deployment

We don’t believe in generic security. Each implementation is tailored to the unique architecture, data sensitivity, and threat model of your application. This means higher accuracy, better performance, and fewer false alarms.

3. We offer expert guidance at every step

From initial assessment to post-deployment tuning, we’re with you throughout the whole journey. Our certified engineers provide actionable advice, help align WAF rules with compliance goals, and guide you through testing and validation.

4. We provide ongoing support and optimization

Security is a lifecycle, not a launch event. We continuously monitor, refine, and update your WAF setup to respond to new risks and keep performance high without disrupting user experience.

5. We balance protection with precision

It’s easy to overprotect and accidentally block real users. Our goal is to minimize false positives while ensuring you stay safe. We fine-tune detection thresholds and patterns based on real traffic data, so your protection feels invisible but effective.

6. We align WAF with your broader security strategy

WAF is just one piece of the puzzle. We ensure it works in sync with your overall architecture: starting with IAM policies and encryption, and ending with DevSecOps pipelines and incident response plans.

We are experienced, attentive, and certified. And we are happy to help.

FAQs

1. Do I need a vendor to implement AWS WAF in my application?

   While AWS WAF can be configured directly through the AWS console, effective protection requires deep understanding of application logic, threat models, and compliance needs. A certified vendor can help you avoid misconfiguration, optimize performance, and reduce false positives.

2. What are the benefits of using AWS WAF for the SaaS or API-based product?

   AWS WAF protects against threats like SQL injection, XSS, and bot attacks, while offering IP restrictions, rate limiting, and real-time traffic visibility—ideal for API endpoints and dynamic applications.

3. How does AWS WAF integrate with the existing AWS infrastructure?

   WAF works natively with Amazon CloudFront, API Gateway, Application Load Balancer (ALB), and AWS AppSync. This ensures seamless setup, low latency, and centralized protection across your entire AWS web stack.

4. Can AWS WAF help with compliance requirements like SOC 2 or HIPAA?

   Yes. When configured correctly, AWS WAF can play a role in meeting application-layer protection requirements in frameworks like SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. A partner can ensure that rules are mapped to your compliance objectives.
