Business Case

From email hacking and mobile malwares to more prominent data breaches—insecure websites and vulnerable web applications have become a de facto standard to commence all types of attacks. As businesses continue to lean on mobile applications and IoT devices to facilitate business interactions, many online transactions occur at the application layer. Attackers often target these applications to reach the sensitive data stored in the backend database—that can be accessed through web applications.

A 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.

WAFs are important for a growing number of organizations that offer products or services online—this includes mobile app developers, social media providers, and digital bankers. WAFs can help businesses protect sensitive data, such as customer records and payment card data, and prevent leakage.

While it’s important to have a WAF to protect critical information in-transit between the users and the applications, it’s equally important to combine it with other security measures. Such as, securing the encryption key used by WAF when decrypting the TLS HTTPS encryption.
