In 2021, a web application firewall (WAF) is essential. Amid prolonged remote working and the pandemic-driven surge in the use of digital services and eCommerce solutions, organizations are facing a bigger threat from malicious website visitors than ever before. In the current day, hackers injecting malicious code instead of an email address to create an account, bypassing web application layers and instantly getting access to SQL databases, are a very real threat.
The risk to businesses is enormous - no organization can face losing customer trust and data in a crowded, competitive marketplace. But there is a solution: the web application firewall (WAF). WAFs safeguard company data by protecting servers from hackers. All incoming requests are inspected, bad traffic is filtered and attacks are prevented. An integral component of application protection, they’re also a requirement for complying with PCI-DSS, and help protect against the OWASP Top 10.
However, not all WAFs are created equal. In 2021, It’s crucial to have a modern and lightweight WAF that maps well to business requirements, drives superior customer experience and ultimately helps organizations to outpace their competitors. In episode 2 of Fuel Business Growth and Innovation with New Application Delivery Strategies we’re sharing just what the modern WAF can do.
