web application firewalls (waf)
Web Application Firewalls (WAF) are security systems specifically designed to protect web applications from various types of cyber threats and attacks. They analyze incoming and outgoing web traffic to identify and block suspicious activities, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other application-layer attacks. WAFs act as a barrier between the application server and the internet, enhancing the security of web applications by monitoring and filtering requests and responses to prevent unauthorized access and potential vulnerabilities.
