Web Application Firewall (WAF)

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security solution designed to protect web applications by monitoring, filtering, and blocking malicious HTTP/S traffic between a web application and the internet. WAFs defend against attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other web-based exploits that target application vulnerabilities. By analyzing incoming and outgoing traffic, WAFs help prevent unauthorized access and data breaches, enhancing the security posture of web applications.
