Web application firewalls (WAFs) are crafted to safeguard web applications by filtering and monitoring incoming traffic. They inspect HTTP traffic as it arrives, blocking potentially harmful requests and spotting unusual patterns. Organizations often pair WAFs with other application security tools to enhance the protection of their web applications. Unlike traditional firewalls, which manage traffic between servers, WAFs specifically filter traffic and content targeting individual web-based applications.
