AWS WAF adds support for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway

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 Groups including common rule sets, known bad inputs, and Bot Control. You configure the protection pack once at the Gateway level and AWS WAF applies it consistently to every target behind that Gateway, so a single configuration protects all downstream tools, agents, and integrations. Support for AWS WAF on AgentCore Gateway is available in all [AWS Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) where both AWS WAF and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway are available.
