Web application firewalls (WAFs) are a critical component for robust application security. The best ones find the right balance between performance, security effectiveness, and cost.
The primary task for WAFs is to protect specific applications from web-based attacks at the application layer.

At the same time, WAF technology is increasingly a part of more comprehensive security solutions like next-generation firewalls (NGFW), unified threat management (UTM), and more.
