With the evolution of cyber threats, organizations increasingly adopt various types of software and hardware firewalls to secure their IT infrastructure. At the same time, the dependence on websites and web applications for conducting several online transactions related to banking, e-commerce, payments, emails, and more, continues to increase the organizations’ attack surface. While the firewalls protect the organizations’ overall IT infrastructure, a WAF protects organizations’ web assets and their customers from web-based attacks and malicious activities. A Web Application Firewall plays an important role in providing security to applications and protecting web servers from OS vulnerabilities, malicious content, targeted attacks, and OWASP top 10 attacks, ensuring full compliance with various norms. In addition, companies catering to data-based industries such as eCommerce, financial services, lead generation, digital healthcare, and more, along with organizations that follow compliance standards like PCI DSS and HIPAA, have increased their spendings on vendors providing robust WAF solutions.
