Author Mohit Thodupunuri

Abstract

With the rise of cloud-native and hybrid architectures, securing web applications from threats such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and DDoS attacks has become critical. This paper presents a comparative analysis of Akamai Web Application Firewall (WAF) and AWS WAF, focusing on their architecture, security features, scalability, pricing, and ease of integration. We evaluate their effectiveness in protecting applications against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and provide insights into the best use cases for each solution.
