Solution

  • If your website is public, expose it to internet through AWS CloudFront. Also you can put it behind AWS WAF. This is the best way to secure your website, leave the heavy lifting to AWS and you can focus on your own business functional requirements.

    Besides security, using AWS CloudFront has other advantages, such as protection against DDoS attacks, lower latency for end-users and lower prices, as most requests can get responses out of CloudFront edge cache and don't need to travel all the way to your origin servers.

    In summary, consider changing your architecture to include following:

    1. AWS CloudFront
    2. AWS WAF
    3. AWS Shield
