AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 52

A company needs to block SQL injection attacks.
Which AWS service or feature can meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. AWS WAF
• B. AWS Shield
• C. Network ACLs
• D. Security groups

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) is specifically designed to protect web applications from common exploits, including SQL injection attacks, by allowing you to create rules to filter out malicious traffic. AWS Shield primarily focuses on DDoS protection, while Network ACLs and Security groups are more about controlling inbound and outbound traffic rather than application layer attacks.
