What is a Web Application Firewall?
By monitoring and filtering traffic between each web application and the internet, a web application firewall (WAF) secures a company's web applications. A web application firewall (WAF) can assist protect online applications from cross-site request forgery (CSRF), cross-site scripting (XSS), file inclusion, and SQL injection attacks.
A WAF is especially useful for businesses that provide e-commerce sites, online financial services, or any other web-based product or service that involves interactions with customers or business partners. WAFs can be extremely useful in avoiding fraud and data theft in these situations. A WAF, on the other hand, is best used as part of a suite of tools that support a comprehensive application security program because it isn't designed to protect against all forms of assaults.
Why is WAF security important in your company?
The level of risk that enterprises face from the ever-evolving threat landscape is a function of the threat probability and potential, which is magnified by the application's vulnerabilities. Confidentiality of data is critical to doing business and growing a firm. You'll have a hard time getting clients who will trust you with their data if your organization doesn't have a strong reputation for privacy and security.
When you apply WAF and other cyber security best practices, you're demonstrating to customers that their information is safe.
Types of Web Application Firewalls
There are three main types of web application servers: network WAF, host-based WAF, and cloud WAF.
- Appliance WAF
- Host-Based WAF
- Cloud WAF

How Does a Web Application Firewall Work?
A web application firewall has several possible deployment models:
- Hardware or virtual appliance
- Software running on the same web server as the web application
- Cloud-based service

The WAF sits in front of the web application in each of these deployment patterns, intercepting all traffic between the application and the Internet
