Web Application Firewall

A security control that filters and monitors HTTP/HTTPS traffic between a web application and the internet. WAFs protect against web-specific attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and request forgery. They operate at Layer 7 and can be deployed as hardware, software, or cloud services.
