    A Web Application Firewall (WAF) provides specific functionality to protects web applications, enforcing rules, checking for threats and blocking unsafe request or data. The PCI DSS standard mandates that your online application accepting payments utilises a WAF.

    Whilst traditional network firewalls protect your networks, your web applications are constantly exposed to a barrage of evolving automated and sophisticated application layer attacks putting your information systems at significant risk. It is critical that you have an appropriate Web application firewall infrastructure to these web applications. It’s also critical that you have the right expertise, processes, management and support available to maximise the effectiveness of your web application firewalls in protecting your organisations applications, systems and data.

    Web Application Firewall technology has significantly increased functionality in terms of the basic unwanted web application traffic blocking, as well as content filtering, integrated intrusion prevention, DLP, application control and anti-malware capabilities. Managing and responding to your WAF, much like your network firewall, around the clock requires a level of skilled and experienced resource that a lot of IT departments cannot hire or retain.
