Web Application Firewall

Web Application Firewall

A web application firewall (WAF) protects web applications from a variety of application layer attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and cookie poisoning, among others. Attacks to apps are the leading cause of breaches—they are the gateway to your valuable data.

A web application firewall is a type of firewall designated to protect web applications. It continuously inspects HTTP traffic to detect and block malicious traffic and web application attacks.

Cyber Security

A firewall can either be software or hardware. Software firewalls are programs installed on each computer, and they regulate network traffic through applications and port numbers. Meanwhile, hardware firewalls are the equipment established between the gateway and your network.
