What is F5 BIG-IP Advanced Web Application Firewall (Advanced WAF)?
The F5 BIG-IP Advanced Web Application Firewall (Advanced WAF) is a comprehensive web application security solution designed to protect applications and data from a wide range of known and emerging threats. Leveraging proven F5 technology, Advanced WAF proactively detects and mitigates bots, secures credentials and sensitive data, and defends against application denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Available as an appliance, virtual edition, or managed service, this solution offers automated WAF services that meet complex deployment and management requirements while providing precise protection for modern applications. Advanced WAF redefines application security to address prevalent threats, including web attacks that steal credentials and gain unauthorized access, application layer attacks that evade static security measures, and the growing attack surfaces and threats due to the rapid adoption of APIs. The solution also safeguards against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, ensuring compliance with key regulatory mandates
