Description

WAF stands for Web Application Firewall. It is a type of software or application used to protect web applications from malicious attacks and data breaches. These attacks can come from various sources, including hackers, malware, and other cybercriminals. WAFs are designed to detect and block malicious requests, such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, and other malicious inputs that could be used to gain access to an application. WAFs also provide additional security measures, such as IP whitelisting, rate limiting, and content filtering. While WAFs are not a replacement for other security measures, they can provide a useful layer of protection for any web application.
