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.
