Overview
What is a web application firewall (WAF)?
An integrated web application security solution
The evolution of the modern business environment has led to changes in the delivery of business-related processes and customer-facing services. Most companies have adopted the digital, application-based environment and traditional perimeters of both network and application security are no longer viable. The constant reliance on web apps only highlights their vulnerabilities, with the increasing reliance on web apps only leaves them more exposed to threats, especially since web application attacks have increased by up to 300% since last year[1], resulting in a flood of data breaches.
New security approaches are needed to help organisations protect their data and remediate against web-based threats and vulnerabilities.
Our web application firewall (WAF) solutions address these vulnerabilities by enabling control over how traffic reaches your applications and preventing application-layer attacks and subsequent data breaches. WAF can help you:
- run web applications securely without fear of attack
- put data protection at the core of your security strategy
- rationalise threat landscapes to protect web servers, data transfers and the confidentiality of customers
- ensure regulatory compliance.
