    Overview

    A web application firewall (WAF) capability provides defense of websites and web applications from hackers and malware by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic between a web app and the Internet. The WAF protects against a variety of application layer attacks including credential theft, code injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cookie poisoning, CSRF, SQL injection, DoS, ransomware, and more. ModSecurity, sometimes referred to as ModSec, is an open-source web security framework that when combined with rules allows users to build WAFs for free.

    F5 Advanced WAF is a web application security solution for financial and government sectors, e-commerce, and public-facing websites. It offers protection against various attacks, including botnets, web scraping, and foreign entities. The solution can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud and is often used with other security tools. Its most valuable features include DDoS and DNS attack protection, SSL uploading, anomaly detection, and the ability to input custom rules. 

    F5 Advanced WAF has helped organizations to expose more services to the public while providing an extra layer of protection, preventing revenue loss, and securing connectivity.
