Web Application Firewall

What is it?

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a firewall technology that provides detailed packet inspection on HTTP/HTTPS/SOAP/XML/Web Services and is used to block malicious requests. A WAF is a firewall technology that monitors, filters and blocks data packets to prevent abnormal traffic between the user and the web server, to and from the website or web application. It is positioned in front of one or more websites or web applications, often deployed through a reverse proxy.

With customized controls, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) can detect and prevent some of the most dangerous vulnerabilities that traditional network firewalls and alternative intrusion detection systems (IDSs) and intrusion prevention systems (IPSs) cannot.

How does it work?

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) examines HTTP requests, applying many rules to identify the request coming from the client side. The main task is to examine GET and POST requests. GET requests are used to retrieve data from the server, while POST requests are used to send data to the server. Web Application Firewall (WAF); It is very important for companies that provide services over the Internet. Because it helps prevent data leakage, it stores many sensitive data such as credit card data and customer records in back-end databases that can be accessed by web applications. Cyber-bullies often target these applications to gain access to relevant data.

In addition, a cloud-hosted Web Application Firewall (WAF) can provide defense without accessing the source code of the web-based application it is included in. In this way, the WAF is easy to deploy and manage and enables rapid virtual patching solutions.

What happens if not?

Your site may one day be exposed to viruses or intrusions and it can be challenging to constantly monitor the system. That's why it makes sense to opt for a firewall with artificial intelligence that learns about attacks. Millions of websites are attacked every day and the owners of these systems are often not even aware of the attacks. The most important reason for this is that in the current period, systems are attacked for data theft, not for shutdown.
In the absence of Web Application Firewall (WAF); The system may remain open to various attacks, internal or external threats may not be recognized, data theft may occur, ransomware can be installed, site information can be deleted.
