Firewall Layers: Protecting Your Data

(Chorus) Layer 7 stops the web request, WAF's the shield that works the best, Layer 3 and 4 defend the flow, But WAF protects where apps will go! (Verse 1 – Layer 7: AWS WAF) WAF is watching HTTP, Application layer security! It checks your API and CloudFront streams, Protects your web apps from hacking schemes. At Layer 7, WAF’s the guard, Keeping your web traffic safe and hard. (Chorus) Layer 7 stops the web request, WAF's the shield that works the best, Layer 3 and 4 defend the flow, But WAF protects where apps will go! (Verse 2 – Layer 3: Network Layer) Layer 3’s the path data will choose, Routing through networks, win or lose. AWS Shield steps in for this, Protecting attacks that could go amiss. But WAF won't work at this network tier, It’s all about web traffic here! (Chorus) Layer 7 stops the web request, WAF's the shield that works the best, Layer 3 and 4 defend the flow, But WAF protects where apps will go! (Verse 3 – Layer 4: Transport Layer) TCP, UDP, it’s all Layer 4, Where data’s sent between doors. AWS Shield guards the way, For traffic moving in the TCP play. But WAF’s designed for the web’s command, To block attacks at the application’s hand! (Final Chorus) Layer 7 stops the web request, WAF's the shield that works the best, Layer 3 and 4 defend the flow, But WAF protects where apps will go!
