A web application firewall (WAF) is a crucial cybersecurity tool designed to protect web applications from various online threats and vulnerabilities. It acts as a barrier between a web application and potential malicious actors, continuously monitoring and filtering incoming web traffic. WAFs work by analyzing HTTP requests and responses, identifying and blocking any suspicious or harmful content. WAFs are essential for safeguarding web applications against common attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). They achieve this by applying a set of predefined security rules and policies to incoming traffic, allowing only legitimate requests to pass through while blocking or mitigating potentially harmful ones.
