Since 1991, Web Application Firewall, commonly referred to as WAF, has become one of the most common application security technologies available on the market. Since the last century, WAFs have evolved by incorporating the cloud and using Machine Learning instead of RegExp. Currently, few technologies, such as NG-WAF, RASP, WAAP, and a few others, have internal WAF capabilities, which prevent web applications and API threats.

Government bodies are clamping down heavily on institutions and organizations that handle sensitive customer data. For APIs, tokens are used to authenticate users. We live in an era dominated by cloud-native and cloud-first solutions that rely on these services to provide dynamic data storage capabilities and overall computing capabilities for more accurate and actionable insights.
