This article introduces a cost-effective strategy for combining AWS WAF with reactive infrastructure to block attackers without exceeding budget constraints. By leveraging the WAF-Ja3FingerPrint-Blacklist Terraform module, it dynamically reconfigures WAF rules based on traffic analysis, reducing the expense of advanced rules like Account Theft Protection while maintaining robust security.
