  name: CloudFront Integrated With WAF
  author: DhiyaneshDK
  severity: medium
  description: |
    Ensure that all your Amazon CloudFront distributions are integrated with the Amazon Web Application Firewall (WAF) service to protect against application-layer attacks that can compromise the security of your websites/web applications or place unnecessary load on them
  impact: |
    Lack of integration between CloudFront and a Web Application Firewall (WAF) increases vulnerability to web-based attacks, including DDoS, SQL injection, and cross-site scripting (XSS).
  remediation: |
    Integrate CloudFront with an appropriate Web Application Firewall (WAF) to filter and monitor HTTP requests, providing enhanced protection against common web threats.
