- Using Stored Procedures.
- Validating user input.
- Limiting privileges.
- Hidding info from the error message.
- Updating your system.
- Keeping database credentials separate and encrypted.
How does WAF detect SQL injection?
An SQL injection match condition identifies the part of web requests, such as the URI or the query string, that you want AWS WAF to inspect. Later in the process, when you create a web ACL, you specify whether to allow or block requests that appear to contain malicious SQL code.
What type of firewall can be used to protect Web applications from SQL injections when exposed to the Internet?
web application firewall
A WAF or web application firewall helps protect web applications by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet. It typically protects web applications from attacks such as cross-site forgery, cross-site-scripting (XSS), file inclusion, and SQL injection, among others.
How do I block SQL injection in AWS WAF?

Which AWS service can be used to prevent SQL injection attacks?
AWS WAF Classic
AWS WAF Classic allows or blocks requests if they appear to contain malicious SQL code either in the URI or in the query string.
How does firewall application work?
A WAF protects your web apps by filtering, monitoring, and blocking any malicious HTTP/S traffic traveling to the web application, and prevents any unauthorized data from leaving the app. It does this by adhering to a set of policies that help determine what traffic is malicious and what traffic is safe.
What can SQL injection do?
SQL injection is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to interfere with the queries that an application makes to its database. It generally allows an attacker to view data that they are not normally able to retrieve.
