WAF (Web Application Firewall)

What is a WAF?

A web application firewall (WAF) is a security solution that has been specially developed to protect web applications. It analyzes and filters HTTP data traffic to prevent attacks such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS) or data leaks. WAFs act as a protective layer between users and web applications.

Advantages and areas of application

WAFs offer protection against known and unknown threats without compromising the performance of web applications. They are particularly important in e-commerce platforms, banking applications and cloud services where sensitive data is processed. Companies use WAFs to meet compliance requirements and increase customer confidence in their applications.
