Web Application Firewall (WAF) Security Solutions

The burgeoning complexity and rapid release cycles of web applications introduce a growing number of vulnerabilities. While DevOps practices enhance functionality and release frequency, they can inadvertently expose enterprises to data breaches and financial losses as application availability becomes paramount to user experience.

What is a WAF?

A WAF serves as the initial line of defence for your web application. Positioned between the application, network, and the internet, it monitors, filters, and blocks potentially malicious traffic based on predefined security rules.

WAF Use Cases:

  • Safeguard websites from zero-day exploits, malware, and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. 
  • Prevent impersonation attacks. 
  • Mitigate critical web application security vulnerabilities that traditional network firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems may struggle to address.

How Does a WAF Work?

Functioning as a reverse proxy, a WAF acts as an intermediary, shielding the web application server from malicious clients. Operating at the application layer (Layer 7) of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, it intercepts all client requests and server responses, analysing and blocking any traffic that violates security policies. This process remains transparent to clients, ensuring seamless operation.

  • Patented Crawler Identification: Accel’s WAF utilises patented technology to accurately distinguish legitimate search engine crawlers from spoofed or malicious ones, safeguarding your web applications from malware and search engine blacklisting.
  • Enhanced Perimeter Security: Our WAF blocks malicious traffic far before it reaches your network, acting as an external security perimeter that shields your application and data servers.
  • Comprehensive Web Security: Integrating positive and negative security models, our WAF delivers market-leading web application security.
  • Multi-Layered DoS Protection: Minimise downtime and ensure business continuity with our multi-layered DDoS protection that safeguards against various attack types.
  • Kubernetes WAF: Secure APIs deployed within Kubernetes clusters.
  • Public Cloud Support: Seamless integration with leading cloud providers including AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud.
  • Layer 7 DoS Protection: Behavioural-based detection effectively stops targeted DDoS attacks on web applications and APIs.
  • OWASP Top 10 Protection: As a trusted OWASP partner, our WAF offers comprehensive coverage against the OWASP Top 10 web and API attacks.
  • API Security: Strengthen security for backend APIs, web applications, serverless functions, and service meshes.
