WAF Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Web Application Firewall (WAF)?

A WAF inspects HTTP/S traffic to and from your application, blocking malicious requests like SQL injection, XSS, path traversal, and more—before they reach your origin servers.

Network firewalls focus on ports, IPs, and protocols. A WAF understands application-layer behavior (URLs, headers, payloads, cookies) and enforces security at Layer-7.

Yes. Core OWASP rules block common attack classes, while our managed rules protect against emerging threats and zero-days.

Absolutely. API-aware controls validate schemas, enforce authentication, and rate-limit abusive clients to stop brute-force and credential-stuffing attacks.

Yes. We combine adaptive rate limiting, challenge pages, and traffic profiling to absorb volumetric floods and suppress malicious automation.
