Web Application Security (WAF)
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) helps protect web applications by monitoring, filtering, and analyzing HTTP/HTTPS traffic between a web application and the Internet. WAFs provide Layer 7 defense in the OSI model and are essential in mitigating common threats such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, file inclusion, and cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
Key Capabilities of WAF
Application Layer Protection:
Operating at Layer 7 of the OSI model, WAFs inspect web traffic to detect and block malicious payloads targeting application vulnerabilities. This allows protection against attacks that traditional firewalls often miss.
Threat Mitigation:
WAFs provide robust protection against OWASP Top 10 threats, including SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and file inclusion attacks. They also help mitigate abuse-based attacks such as DDoS.
Real-Time Traffic Analysis:
WAFs enable dynamic rule creation based on application behavior, reducing false positives while enabling quick identification of suspicious activity.
Pass-Through Management and Bypass Resilience:
Imperva WAF offers intelligent filtering by focusing on application-level traffic. Its automatic bypass feature ensures operational continuity even during hardware failure.
Rapid Deployment and Threat Intelligence:
Imperva’s extensive threat intelligence database and frequently updated rule sets empower WAF solutions to defend against evolving threats at scale.
