A. AWS WAF https://aws.amazon.com/waf/faqs/ "AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect web applications from attacks by allowing you to configure rules that allow, block, or monitor (count) web requests based on conditions that you define. These conditions include IP addresses, HTTP headers, HTTP body, URI strings, SQL injection and cross-site scripting."

A. AWS WAF. AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) is a service that helps protect web applications from common web exploits that can affect application availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. It allows users to create custom security rules that block common attack patterns, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, and provides protection against both layer 7 and layer 3/4 attacks. In this case, using AWS WAF would help the system administrator block common attack patterns and protect the production web application from potential security threats.

The AWS service that the system administrator should use to address these concerns is AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall). Option A is the correct answer. AWS WAF is a web application firewall that helps protect your web applications from common web exploits that could affect application availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources. It provides customizable rules to block common attack patterns such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), and it can be easily integrated with other AWS services like Amazon CloudFront, API Gateway, and Application Load Balancer to provide additional security.
