What differentiates AWS Shield from other similar products?
Web applications operating on AWS are protected by the managed distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection service known as AWS Shield. The always-on detection and automatic inline mitigations offered by AWS Shield reduce latency and application downtime. In our organization, it is quite effective.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The Shield is quite simple to set up, which I appreciate. Furthermore, other than setting this up, an individual want absolutely no expertise of it. The Security Team only needs to designate a network administrator to work on the subsequent issue instead of describing the types of attacks that occur and how to defend against them.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Amazon Web Services Shield is moving in the correct direction, in my opinion. I would like that some things be carried out somewhat differently. Although the marketplace is a fantastic option, why don't you also employ some common choices that people frequently use at your service? In addition, billing might be very confusing.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I use AWS Shield to protect my operations and those of my clients from outside security threats, primarily DDoS. Because I believe it is a necessary service to incorporate in your application for security reasons, I have utilized AWS Shield in almost all of my applications that I have built on AWS. If your app is accidentally attacked by DDoS, it becomes a very urgent effort to recover it.
