Fortinet Managed Rules for AWS WAF - API Security provides protection against API based attacks, with rules based on threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, Fortinet threat intelligence and research organization.
4.1
Overview
Fortinets WAF rulesets are based on the FortiWeb web application firewall security service signatures. These signatures are updated on a regular basis to include the latest threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs.
In addition to protection against the OWASP Top 10, this ruleset has been optimized to defend against attacks that target the API attack surface. Your APIs touch your most critical data, and to protect that data you need specific protection for blocking API based attacks.
Designed for AWS WAF v2 For extended web application firewall features including ML based API discovery and protection, , you can try Fortinet FortiWeb Cloud WAF-as-a-Service, a SaaS service that requires no hardware or software deployed https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/Fortinet-Inc-Fortinet-FortiWeb-Cloud-WAF-as-a-Serv/B07PXMWJT1 .

Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Cost/unit |
|---|---|
Charge per month in each available region (pro-rated by the hour) | $30.00 |
Charge per million requests in each available region | $1.80 |
Dimensions summary
This listing bills you two ways at once. You pay a monthly subscription charge in each AWS region where you deploy the rule group. That charge is pro-rated by the hour, so partial months cost less. On top of that, you pay a usage charge for every million web requests inspected in each region. The two charges combine: the monthly fee covers access to the rule group, while the per-request fee scales with your application traffic. Because rules deploy per region, both charges repeat in each region you protect.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each web request inspected by the rule group in a region counts toward your total. The charge applies per million inspected requests. Requests are counted separately in each AWS region where you deploy the rule group. Blocked and allowed requests both count once inspected.
Both charges apply at the same time. The monthly charge gives you access to the rule group in a region. The per-request charge scales with the volume of web traffic inspected. High-traffic applications see the per-request charge grow, while the monthly charge stays fixed per region.
Yes. Rule groups deploy per region. Both the monthly charge and the per-request charge repeat in each region where you deploy. You generally deploy in every region that has applications needing protection. One exception applies to global deployments served through content delivery.

Good baseline WAF protection for teams without a security engineer
Reviewed on Sep 04, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
1.Fast to deploy — subscribe on Marketplace, attach to the existing web ACL, running same day
2.No rule writing or tuning required to get OWASP Top 10 coverage FortiGuard Labs handles signature updates, so we're not chasing new CVEs
3.Stays native to AWS — same console, CloudWatch metrics, sampled logs, Terraform workflow
4.Rule groups are separable (OWASP, SQLi/XSS, bots, API), so we only pay for what we use
5.COUNT mode let us validate against real traffic before blocking Strong coverage-to-effort ratio for a small team with no dedicated WAF engineer

What do you dislike about the product?
1.False positives on legitimate traffic (file uploads, rich-text fields, complex query strings) take trial and error to isolate
2.Documentation is lighter than Fortinet's on-prem WAF products; limited guidance on which rule group to pick for a given workload

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1.Gave us real OWASP Top 10 coverage without anyone writing or maintaining rule logic — we simply didn't have the headcount for that
2.FortiGuard handles signature updates, so new CVEs get covered faster than we could virtual-patch ourselves
3.Satisfies the WAF control for compliance and customer security questionnaires with something documented and defensible
