Understanding WAF

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security tool designed to protect web applications by monitoring and filtering HTTP traffic between the web application and the internet. WAFs help prevent attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and other common web application vulnerabilities by analyzing and blocking potentially malicious traffic before it reaches the web application server.
