Today, AWS announces general availability of AWS Web Application Firewall (AWS WAF) protection for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway, enabling you to protect your agentic AI workloads from common web exploits and abuse. As enterprises move agentic applications from prototype to production, this launch gives security and platform teams ability to apply consistent, customizable web protections at the Gateway layer. You can now associate an AWS WAF protection pack with your AgentCore Gateway to enforce IP-based access controls, rate-based rules that throttle abusive traffic, and AWS Managed Rule G
As AI agents move from experimental phases to production, the immediate need for robust security infrastructure to protect these new workloads becomes critical, aligning with real-world enterprise adoption timelines.
This development allows enterprises to deploy AI agents with integrated security at the foundational gateway layer, mitigating risks of exploitation and abuse directly at the entry point of agentic systems.
Enterprises can now apply established web application firewall protections to their AI agentic workloads, enabling more secure and consistent deployment of these advanced systems in production environments.
