Over the following decades, WAFs have gain wide acceptance and are part of numerous regulatory and information security compliance controls, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). While web application firewalls have been around since the 1990s, modern WAFs started to evolve in the early 2000s, focusing on protecting the growing e-commerce industry. With the right WAF in place, you can block the array of attacks that aim to exfiltrate that data by compromising your systems. Attacks to apps are the leading cause of breaches-they are the gateway to your valuable data. What is a web application firewall (WAF)?Ī web application firewall (WAF) protects web applications from a variety of application layer attacks, such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and cookie poisoning, among others. Before discussing the announcement specifically, I thought it would be best to provide a bit of insight into these complementary technologies. Christine Puccio – VP of Global Cloud Alliances and Heath Parrott – Senior Global Solutions Architect for Cloud discussed their latest announcement: the integration between F5 Essential App Protect, a web application firewall (WAF) SaaS solution and Amazon CloudFront, a content delivery network (CDN) solution from Amazon Web Services (AWS). Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in a podcast with the team at F5.
