Web Application Firewall (WAF) Best Practices For Optimal Security

Web and mobile application code protection is a must-have security control. Modern solutions such as application layer firewall help your organisation to keep those assets protected from threats like SQL injection, cross-site scripting and bot-driven attacks. This is where a Web Application Firewall (WAF) comes into the picture. A WAF has the capability of filtering, monitoring and blocking HTTP requests to protect the assets from malicious requests without affecting legitimate users.

Securing Against Attacks: How WAF Rate Limiting Works

Rate limiting plays a major role in application security, especially when it is about defending web applications from malicious bot attacks, credential stuffing, brute force attacks and excessive API calls. Rate limiting security ensures that systems function properly without overwhelming them. It controls the number of requests a client or a specific IP address can send over a specified time period.
