The two tiers of AWS Shield

Your environment and how much protection you require, and at which level, will determine the AWS Shield tier that you implement within it. Currently, there are two tiers available:

AWS Shield Standard: The first tier is freely available to anyone with an AWS account.
AWS Shield Advanced: The second tier is a premium tier that comes with a range of additional features and protection. However, this comes at an additional cost.

By visiting https://aws.amazon.com/shield/getting-started/, you can see the full list of differences between the two tiers.
