A Cloud Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security solution specifically designed to protect web applications from various cyber threats, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and other types of web-based attacks. Unlike traditional firewalls that focus on network traffic, a WAF operates at the application layer of the OSI model, inspecting and filtering HTTP and HTTPS traffic to web applications.
Analyzing incoming HTTP/HTTPS requests to web applications in real-time and blocking malicious traffic or requests that violate security policies, helping to prevent attacks targeting vulnerabilities in web applications.
Include Bot Risk Management, OWASP 10 protection, Automatic Vulnerability Patching, DOS Protection.
Utilizing predefined attack signatures and patterns to identify and block known attack vectors and malicious payloads, including signatures for common web application attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, and directory traversal.
Employing behavioral analysis techniques to detect abnormal or suspicious patterns in web traffic and application behavior, enabling proactive protection against zero-day attacks and emerging threats.
Implementing rate limiting and request throttling mechanisms to limit the rate of incoming requests from individual IP addresses or clients, helping to mitigate the impact of brute force attacks, botnets, and other forms of automated abuse.
Leveraging threat intelligence feeds and IP reputation databases to identify and block traffic originating from known malicious IP addresses, botnets, or sources associated with malicious activity.
Allowing administrators to restrict access to web applications based on the geographical location of incoming requests, helping to prevent attacks originating from specific regions or countries known for high levels of malicious activity.
Extending protection to APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and microservices exposed by web applications, inspecting and filtering API requests to prevent abuse, data leakage, and unauthorized access.
Offloading SSL/TLS encryption and decryption to the WAF to inspect encrypted web traffic for threats and vulnerabilities, enabling deep packet inspection without compromising performance or security.
Logging detailed information about web traffic, security events, and policy violations for auditing, compliance, and forensic analysis purposes, as well as providing customizable reports and dashboards to monitor security posture and incident trends.
