Managed Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Web application firewalls are vital components of any organization's security program. However, threat actors are increasingly targeting web application firewalls as an entry point, requiring significant time and resources to maximize their value.

Extending your business to suppliers, partners, and clients through web applications offers numerous benefits but also exposes critical data to sophisticated threats. Protecting this data while complying with regulations is complex and labor-intensive, requiring a comprehensive application security strategy.

Web application firewalls have become essential for protecting an organization's critical assets, maintaining business continuity, and enhancing other application security practices.
