We use the product for DDoS protection and Layer 7 attack protection. For simple WAF rules like IP blocking or allowing or disallowing headers and footers, we use AWS Shield.

The primary use case of the solution is firewall protection. Having a firewall is important for protecting our website from DDoS attacks. Just in case our services are running and we do get attacked, having a firewall can help keep our website alive.

Its use case can be anything from volume DDoS to lightweight web application framework capabilities. These are mostly the two areas where you see it.
