Azure WAF Insights

What is Azure WAF?

Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) provides centralized protection of your web applications from common exploits and vulnerabilities. It is a cloud-native service that inspects inbound web traffic and blocks malicious requests before they reach the application server. It's commonly used to protect against attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities. It integrates with Azure Application Gateway, Azure Front Door, and Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN).
