A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security system that safeguards websites and web applications by filtering, monitoring, and blocking malicious HTTP traffic. It is a layer between the web application and the internet that defends against common attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and remote file inclusion.
WAFs work at the application layer, inspecting incoming traffic and using adaptable rules to identify and block anomalous activity without impeding legitimate users. They are a critical component of a contemporary cybersecurity approach, particularly for those applications that deal with sensitive information or user input.
