Ensure WAF has geo-blocking configured where required
WAF should block traffic from countries where the application is not intended to be used.
Security Impact
Without geo-blocking, attacks can originate from countries where you have no users.
How to Remediate
Create geo-match rules to block traffic from restricted countries based on business requirements.
