A web application firewall (WAF) monitors network traffic on web-enabled applications. It assists in blocking data packets and establishing a protected barrier between the computer and the external environment. It also helps prevent zero-day exploits, malware infections, impersonations, and unauthorized cyber vulnerabilities. It provides web security at the application layer of the open system interconnection model from several attacks, such as cross-site scripting (XSS), structured query language (SQL) injection, and request for information (RFI). Besides this, as WAF offers improved visibility of web traffic, ease of deployment, and cost-effectiveness, it finds extensive applications in various industry verticals across the globe.

Web Application Firewall Market Trends:

Rapid digitization, the growing occurrence of cyberattacks, and internet fraud on the global level are among the key factors positively influencing the market.
