What is a Web Application Firewall?

A web application firewall (WAF) is essential for safeguarding your web applications by filtering and blocking malicious traffic. Specifically, it acts as a shield against various cyber threats by inspecting HTTP(s) traffic between your web application and the internet. By doing so, WAFs help prevent a range of attacks, including cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site forgery, file inclusion, and SQL injection—common techniques hackers use to exploit vulnerabilities in web applications. 

However, constant innovation in web applications has rendered simple WAF solutions insufficient today. That is why we’ve developed a modern WAF like the WebOrion® Protector, which provides advanced protections that adapt to emerging threats, ensuring your web applications remain secure in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

How Our Web Application Firewall Benefits Your Organisation

WebOrion® Protector goes beyond traditional WAF functionalities to provide comprehensive protection against the OWASP Top 10, malicious bots and even secures GenAI applications. Safeguarding your critical web applications helps prevent costly data breaches, reduces the risk of cyberattacks, and ensures your business stays compliant with industry regulations. With WebOrion® Protector, your organisation can concentrate on expansion and innovation, knowing that your digital assets are well-protected.

Protection Against the OWASP Top 10  

Repel the OWASP Top 10 web application security risks with WebOrion® Protector’s intelligent anomaly-scoring, heuristics and signature-based WAF engine. Effectively discern between good and malicious traffic, and block typical web attacks such as SQL injections, cross site scripting, file inclusions and code injections.

Secure New Attack Surfaces for GenAI Applications

Our WAF is GenAI-ready, designed to protect emerging attack surfaces created by the launch of GenAI-related services such as RAG, search, chatbots and text summarisation.  It inspects incoming prompts to block malicious attacks and monitors outgoing responses to prevent sensitive data leakages, including personally identifiable information.

High-Level Network Architecture of Our Website Firewall Protection

Our website firewall protection features a high-level network architecture that is strategically configured to secure your web applications from cyber threats. The architecture includes advanced filtering mechanisms that intercept and analyse traffic before it reaches your web applications. This approach ensures that only legitimate traffic is processed, effectively blocking malicious attacks and safeguarding your digital infrastructure. Whether protecting against common threats or mitigating sophisticated cyber attacks, our WAF solution ensures comprehensive security coverage.

Difference between WAF and other tools (IPS or next-gen firewalls)

The key difference between WAFs and other network firewalls lies in what each tool is designed to defend—WAFs filter out suspicious requests on web applications, while IPS and NGFWs cover a broader spectrum of network threats.

Web Application Firewall

A web application firewall is configured to protect web applications by filtering and monitoring HTTP/HTTPS traffic. It safeguards against specific threats such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), and operates at the application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model. This makes it especially useful for defending web applications and API endpoints from malicious attacks.

Intrusion Prevention System

An intrusion prevention system (IPS) offers a broader form of firewall protection. Unlike a WAF, which targets web applications, IPS scans network traffic across multiple protocols, such as DNS, SMTP, and FTP. By using a signature-based approach, it identifies known vulnerabilities and blocks threats before they can infiltrate the network.

Next-Gen Firewall

Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) expand on traditional firewall functions. Although both NGFWs and WAFs are categorised as firewalls, NGFWs focus more on detecting network-level threats, while WAFs specialise in protecting application-specific vulnerabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Web Application Firewall

How does Cloudsine's WAF handle false positives?

Our web application firewall handles false positives by fine-tuning detection rules and thresholds based on specific application behaviours. This involves applying contextual logic to identify legitimate traffic and minimise unnecessary blocks. By continuously analysing traffic patterns and refining rule sets, the WAF ensures that genuine user interactions are not mistakenly flagged as threats, maintaining a balance between security and accessibility.

How to choose between on-premises and cloud WAF?

When deciding between on-premises or cloud WAF, consider your security needs, budget, and IT resources. For organisations with strict regulatory and compliance needs, an on-premises WAF provides greater control over security environments. However, if you prioritise scalability, cost-efficiency, and ease of management, a cloud-based WAF might be more suitable. Assess your organisation’s priorities to choose the best option for your website firewall protection needs.

How does Cloudsine ensure the performance of my website with a Web Application Firewall?

We ensure your website’s performance with our web application firewall by implementing optimised traffic management that minimises any impact on speed. The WebOrion® Protector is designed to filter out threats efficiently while allowing legitimate traffic to pass through without delay. By using intelligent processing and real-time monitoring, we maintain fast and responsive website performance, even under high traffic or attack conditions, ensuring seamless user experience and robust protection.

How often are the Web Application Firewall rules updated?

Our web application firewall managed rulesets are updated regularly, depending on the evolving threat landscape. These updates ensure that the website firewall protection remains effective against the latest cyber threats, addressing newly discovered vulnerabilities and attack methods. Regular rule updates are necessary to maintain consistent protection.

How does Cloudsine's WAF protect against DDoS attacks?

Cloudsine’s WebOrion® Protector defends against DDoS attacks by employing advanced rate limiting and behavioural detection technologies. It scrutinises incoming traffic patterns and volume, blocking abnormal activity before it can overwhelm web services. This proactive approach ensures continuous availability and protection of your critical web applications from disruption. However, do note that this feature is available only on the Cloud version.
