AWS Shield

AWS Shield is a security service from Amazon Web Services that helps protect websites and online applications from cyberattacks called Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks can flood a website with excessive traffic, causing it to slow down or become unavailable. AWS Shield detects and automatically blocks malicious traffic, ensuring your online services remain accessible and secure. It provides ongoing protection without requiring manual intervention and is integrated with other AWS security tools for comprehensive defense. Essentially, AWS Shield helps keep your digital presence safe and reliable against malicious threats.
