Network, Cloud & WAF Security
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
A WAF protects web applications and APIs from common attacks — when it is configured and tuned properly.
Overview
What is Web Application Firewall (WAF)?
Web application firewalls inspect HTTP traffic to block injection, cross-site scripting, malicious bots and other application-layer attacks. We design, deploy and tune WAF policies — cloud-based or on-premises — and move them safely from monitoring to blocking.
