Web Application Firewall
Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security solution that monitors, filters, and blocks malicious HTTP/S traffic to protect web applications from cyber threats like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and DDoS attacks. In research and academia, WAF is a key topic in cybersecurity, cloud security, and threat intelligence studies. Researchers analyze its effectiveness, evolving attack vectors, and AI-driven security enhancements. As web threats grow more sophisticated, WAF remains central to discussions on web security best practices. This tag connects researchers, security professionals, and developers with the latest studies, innovations, and expert insights in application-layer defense mechanisms.
