AWS announced that its Web Application Firewall (WAF) became generally available for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway, adding protections against common web exploits and abuse to agentic AI applications. This integration allows consistent, customizable security policies enforcing IP controls, rate limiting, and managed rule groups at the gateway level.
By configuring AWS WAF protections once per Gateway, all downstream AI tools and services receive uniform defense. This capability supports enterprises transitioning agentic AI workloads from prototypes into production environments, with availability across AWS Regions supporting both services.
