What is WAF?

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security tool that filters, monitors, and blocks malicious HTTP(S) traffic traveling to a web application, and protects the application from a variety of attacks, such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and other application-layer attacks. WAFs are commonly deployed in front of web applications to analyze traffic and apply security rules to prevent attacks before they reach the application.

WAF Complementary Technologies

IPS

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) work in conjunction with WAFs to provide comprehensive security. WAFs protect web applications, while IPS systems protect the network from broader threats.

SIEM

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems collect and analyze security logs from various sources, including WAFs, providing a centralized view of security events and enabling threat detection and response.

DDoS

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection mitigates attacks that flood a web application with traffic, making it unavailable. A WAF complements this by protecting against application-layer attacks that bypass DDoS mitigation.
