AWS Marketplace Integration

Prerequisites​

An active CloudFront distribution that serves your web application.

Introduction​

IntelliFend seamlessly integrates with the CloudFront CDN through the Interceptor integration mode, leveraging the Lambda Edge function. Our worker.js script deployed in Lambda Edge intercepts requests, determining whether to allow, block, or challenge traffic with Captcha.

The CloudFormation Template automates the setup of the IntelliFend Worker in your AWS account, including the necessary permissions for log pushing and bot behavior analysis. This reduces setup time and simplifies the configuration process. Once the IntelliFend CloudFormation stack is successfully created, you can access the backoffice to complete the integration process and get ready for bot analytics.

  • IntelliFendManagement
  • IntelliFendManagementExecutionRole
