It helps us detect threats or malicious requests coming into the network, protecting it from being hacked. It helps guard against issues like cross-site scripting (XSS) and other similar threats.

So, F5 Advanced WAF helped mitigate bot traffic for our web applications.

Moreover, my experience is that it's pretty straightforward to use. Our firewall team handles requests through a change management tool within scheduled change windows. However, F5 is our only firewall solution.

F5 Advanced WAF has benefited our company by protecting us against revenue loss. It's prevented hacks that would have taken us offline or caused us a loss of revenue in different areas.

It protects our environment. It protects our entities.

F5 Advanced WAF secures our connectivity and combines both the main functions of WAF (balancing and web application security).

We need to have an extra layer of protection. We were previously exposed to the public API. The deployment and the rate of deploying web-based applications had increased. After we introduced the web application firewall, it increased our ability to expose more of the services to the public. 

We have an SOC, and for collecting logs we are also using the F5 logs to analyze the securities and events. So having a central log management and F5 really helped us to analyze the security logs. It also helps with blocking the attacks on web applications.

With Advanced WAF protection, F5 was able to protect multiple kind of Web Application, supporting both HTTP & API protocols access

The solution speeds up our web application speed. This increases the availability of our services, because of the web base load balancer. It also improves our application security because of the additional features of the web application firewall. So our website works faster and better and it has a lower impact on our servers.

We've only been using this solution for six months now, so we can't really see any improvement yet.

In this case, we used a few long-term models because F5 Advanced WAF is a complete solution. Our customers do not only use this model. 

F5 Advanced WAF is similar to other solutions used for a lot of projects. 

It's feasible for our customers to improve on their protection ability within the applications from secondary attacks, i.e. MySQL injection.

Each company is liable for the security of the customers using the service.
