Amazon Cognito introduces AWS Web Application Firewall (AWS WAF) support in Cognito Managed Login. This new capability allows customers to protect their Managed Login endpoints configured in Cognito user pools from unwanted or malicious requests and web-based attacks. Managed Login, a fully-managed, hosted sign-in and sign-up experience that customers can personalize to align with their company or application branding, now offers an additional layer of protection against threat vectors through integration with AWS WAF web access control lists (web ACLs).
This integration provides customers with powerful new capabilities to safeguard their applications against malicious attacks. With AWS WAF support, you can now define rules that enforce rate limits, gain visibility into web traffic to your applications, and allow or block traffic to Cognito Managed Login based on your specific business or security requirements. Additionally, the AWS WAF integration enables you to optimize costs by controlling bot traffic to your Cognito user pools.
Managed Login and WAF support in Managed Login are offered as part of the Cognito Essentials and Plus tiers and are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Cognito is available. Please note that AWS WAF charges apply for the inspection of user pool requests. For more information, see AWS WAF Pricing. To learn more, see Using AWS WAF to protect Amazon Cognito User Pools, and to get started, visit the Amazon Cognito console.
