AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner — Question 197

A company needs to block SQL injection attacks.

Which AWS service or feature provides this functionality?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

AWS WAF is specifically designed to protect web applications from common web exploits, including SQL injection attacks. Network ACLs and security groups are primarily focused on controlling network traffic, not specifically targeting application layer attacks. AWS Trusted Advisor provides best practice recommendations but does not offer direct protection against SQL injection.
