Web application attacks are consistently a top pattern in security incidents and data breaches. Modern web applications take advantage of highly distributed multicloud environments, dynamic microservices architectures, and third-party integrations and content. These complex application deployments are inherently more difficult to protect against a constantly and rapidly evolving threat landscape, despite industry efforts to bolster secure application development practices.

A web application firewall (WAF) prevents successful attacks against your web applications by

  • Providing virtual patching for code- and application-level vulnerabilities
  • Inspecting ingress application traffic to identify and block scans, attacks, and bots
  • Inspecting egress application traffic to prevent sensitive data exposure
  • Securing application programming interfaces (APIs)
