The difference between a firewall and a web application firewall (WAF) is that a firewall protects the client whereas a WAF protects the server. The WAFs are deployed to protect the web servers against hacking attempts, monitor the access to web applications, and gather access logs for compliance and analytics. It helps them avoid the expensive data breaches and downtime. To secure the internal and public web applications and data, enterprises use Web Application Firewalls (WAF). With the rapid rise in number of enterprises adopting cloud for running business applications and storing confidential data, cyber-criminals are primarily targeting websites and web applications.Īs per a research, a single data breach costs around $5.9 million to enterprises in US to remediate the loss of data, service disruption, and reputation tarnishing.
