Why this program matters

  • Web attacks on applications rose 48% in 2023, exposing companies to average losses of $4.45 million per incident.

  • Without mastery of AWS WAF, DevOps teams fail to block zero-day threats, causing costly downtime and loss of customer trust.

  • Careers stall against rising demands in cloud security.

  • Acting now prevents these risks and secures your systems for the long term.

AWS WAF curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Theme: Introduction and AWS WAF architecture (consoles, rules, deliverables)

Participants explore the AWS WAF architecture through real-world case studies. They navigate AWS consoles, analyze managed rules, and create their first rule groups. Practical exercises enable deployment of basic protection on a web application, with deliverables including an initial audit report and exportable configurations.

Module 2 : Theme: Custom AWS WAF rules (expressions, conditions, deliverables)

This day deepens the creation of custom rules using the AWS WAF expression language. Learners design complex conditions to block bots and SQL injections. Practical workshops on test environments result in deliverables of tested and documented rules for production use.

Module 3 : Theme: AWS WAF integration with cloud services (API Gateway, CloudFront, deliverables)

Professionals integrate AWS WAF with API Gateway and CloudFront. They configure distributed protections and analyze logs via CloudWatch. Concrete business scenarios enable delivery of secured architectures with advanced monitoring and custom dashboards.

Module 4 : Theme: AWS WAF optimization and automation (Lambda, tests, deliverables)

Participants automate rule updates via Lambda and test performance under load. They optimize costs and latency while maintaining a high level of protection. Exercises result in automation deliverables ready for enterprise deployment.

Module 5 : Theme: Advanced multi-cloud strategies and AWS WAF certification (audits, deliverables)

The final day covers comparisons with Azure and Google Cloud WAF. Learners conduct a comprehensive audit and prepare for internal certification. They present their final strategy with detailed reports and recommendations for secure production deployment.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your AWS WAF training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
