Solution Brief | CloudGuard WAF

Preemptive Web Application & API Protection

One Platform for Modern Application Security
As your cloud-based web applications grow, so does your exposure to cyber threats. Attackers target your applications and APIs with sophisticated techniques from SQL injection and cross-site scripting to bot attacks and zero-day exploits, putting your business at risk of financial loss, reputational damage, and increased operational burden. In today’s landscape, robust application security is no longer optional - it’s essential.

Traditional WAF Just Can’t Cut It!

Web application firewalls (WAF) have traditionally relied on threat signature mapping to reactively fend off attacks. This approach is both reactive (takes an avg of 1 month for initial remedy) and is limited in its effectiveness because it can only make a binary decision: block or permit. This leads to a high number of false positives, causing headaches for security teams who must constantly monitor and maintain them.

With modern applications being developed and deployed at breakneck speed, it is becoming increasingly clear that this outdated approach is unable to keep up with the pace and scope of DevOps practices.
