Web Application Firewall

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security tool that helps protect websites and online services from cyber threats. It monitors and filters internet traffic before it reaches the website, identifying and blocking malicious activities like hacking attempts or data breaches. Think of it as a gatekeeper that ensures only safe, legitimate traffic gets through while preventing harmful data from causing damage. This helps keep websites secure, maintain performance, and protect sensitive information from cyberattacks.
