Web Application Firewall

Careers Image

Your website is visible to users—but it's also being watched by attackers. This is where WAF, the Web Application Firewall, comes into play. WAF is a dedicated security layer that prevents malicious attacks against your website and applications.

What is a Web Application Firewall (WAF)?

It protects you against SQL injection, XSS (Cross-site scripting), and other cyber threats by analyzing incoming and outgoing traffic. Simply put, a WAF is like a "gatekeeper" that protects your website. It inspects every incoming request, allowing safe ones through and blocking suspicious ones. Why is WAF important? Because as attacks increase, applications are at greater risk, high security is required for online sales, registration, and payment systems, and without a WAF, it is possible to face data leaks and service outages. Using a WAF is recommended to ensure compliance with GDPR, ISO, and other standards.

How is the installing WAF Systems systems performed?

  • WAF solutions are implemented in several different ways. Here are a few of them for you:
  • Cloud-based WAF - Integrates with CDN. (For example, Cloudflare, AWS WAF)
  • Appliance (physical device) based WAF
  • Software-based WAF (software running on a server)

The installation steps are usually as follows:

  • Threat analysis is conducted to identify the vulnerable points of the website
  • Traffic is routed and configured to pass through the WAF system
  • By writing rules, some requests you specify are blocked, while others are not
  • During the testing phase, the system is tested and errors are adjusted
  • Through integration and monitoring, real-time tracking and automatic reporting are established
