Web Application Firewall
A ‘’’web application firewall (WAF)’’’ is an application firewall for HTTP applications. Web Application traffic is been scanned by WAF. WAF Filtering is based mainly on OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities e.g. Cross Site Scripting & SQL Injection
WAF protect enterprise or cloud servers and it acts like a reverse proxy. It can also be used to offload SSL.
Cloud WAFs are preominently used on internet so that bad traffic is been blocked before hackers attack web application servers.
WAF contains various rules and if traffic is matched against these rules WAF triggers.
For many enterprises, WAFs are a trusted, first line of defense for applications, especially to protect against the OWASP Top 10—the foundational list of the most seen application vulnerabilities. This Top 10 currently includes:
- Injection attacks
- Broken Authentication
- Sensitive data exposure
- XML External Entities (XXE)
- Broken Access control
Security - Misconfigurations
- Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
- Insecure Deserialization
We provide ”Cloud based WAF with Fully Managed Service”. This is a great option if you require the fastest, most hassle-free way to get WAF in front of your apps (especially if you have limited in-house security/IT resources)
