Why this program matters

  • Web attacks target more than 60% of applications without adequate protection, resulting in average losses of 4.5 million euros per incident according to recent studies.

  • Without AWS WAF mastery, companies expose themselves to costly data breaches and lasting loss of customer trust.

  • Professionals without these skills see their careers stalled amid growing demand for cloud cybersecurity.

  • Acting now avoids these concrete risks and secures your systems long-term.

Program

AWS WAF curriculum: 5 modules over 5 days

Module 1 : Theme: Introduction to AWS WAF and Basic Rules (AWS Console, Geographic Conditions, Deliverables)

Participants discover AWS WAF through practical demonstrations on the AWS console. They configure basic conditions such as IP addresses and HTTP headers. Hands-on exercises allow them to create simple rules to block malicious requests. The trainer presents real business cases with exposed web applications. Each learner deploys an initial ACL and tests its effectiveness in a simulation environment.

Module 2 : Theme: Managed and Custom Rules for AWS WAF (Core Rules, Regex, Scenarios)

This day covers AWS managed rules in depth and the creation of custom rules using regular expressions. Professionals learn to combine conditions to detect SQL and XSS injections. Practical workshops include importing rule sets and adapting them to specific business needs. Real incident feedback complements the training. Deliverables consist of an ACL ready for deployment in a test environment.

Module 3 : Theme: Integrating AWS WAF with CloudFront and ALB (Routing, Logs, Monitoring)

Learners integrate AWS WAF with CloudFront and Application Load Balancer services. They configure traffic routing and enable detailed logging for analysis. Practical exercises demonstrate how to correlate events with CloudWatch. The training emphasizes best practices to minimize latency. Each participant deploys a complete architecture and validates its performance on simulated attack scenarios.

Module 4 : Theme: Advanced Protection and Automation with AWS WAF (Rate Limiting, Lambda, Scripts)

This session covers advanced features such as rate limiting and automation via AWS Lambda. Professionals develop scripts to dynamically update rules in response to threats. Real business cases illustrate bot detection and API protection. Exercises enable cost optimization while strengthening security. Deliverables include a customized automation playbook.

Module 5 : Theme: Monitoring, Optimization and AWS WAF Certification (Dashboards, Audits, Best Practices)

The final day focuses on continuous monitoring and optimization of AWS WAF deployments. Participants create dashboards and perform compliance audits. Practical workshops finalize skills through configuration reviews and adjustments. The training concludes with an integrative project and skills assessment. Each learner leaves with an action plan tailored to their enterprise.

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.
