A WAF adds a filtering layer in front of your website or web application. We help with deployment, initial configuration, and testing, then scope ongoing management around your traffic and application changes. It works alongside secure development, patching, and server hardening.
Cybersecurity — Web & Application Security
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Deploy and manage a Web Application Firewall to filter malicious requests, with configuration, testing, and rule tuning.
Who this is for
- Websites and applications that need protection from common web attacks
- Teams without the expertise to run a WAF themselves
What's included
Protection
Filter requests at the application layer using the controls available on the selected WAF platform.
Deployment and configuration
Plan the deployment, configure the initial rules, and test legitimate application workflows.
Ongoing management
Review rules and exceptions, investigate blocked traffic, and tune the configuration as your application changes.
What you receive
- A configured WAF for the agreed applications
- Testing of agreed application workflows and documented exceptions
- Management and reporting arrangements where included in the engagement
Scope & limitations
- A WAF is one layer. It does not replace secure development, patching, or server hardening.
- Coverage and available controls depend on the selected platform and configuration.
Common questions
Do you offer WAF deployment and ongoing management separately?
They are one service here, scoped to your needs — some engagements need deployment only, others include continuous management with tuning and reporting. Tell us which you need.
Which WAF platforms do you support?
The selected platform and configuration determine coverage — we recommend and deploy the platform that fits your infrastructure and budget.
