AWS waf documentation change

Service: waf · 2025-06-19 · Documentation low

File: waf/latest/developerguide/waf-incident-response.md

Summary

Added console experience notice and updated references from 'web ACL' to 'protection pack or web ACL' in logging documentation. Modified incident response guidance to include protection packs.

Security assessment

The changes integrate protection packs into existing incident response processes and logging documentation. While this updates security-related operational guidance, there's no indication of resolving a specific security vulnerability or incident response deficiency.
