Web application firewall (WAF) protection
Modern Workspace > Web application firewall (WAF) protection
Web applications are prime targets for cyberattacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), credential stuffing, and API abuse. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) provides the first line of defense—monitoring and filtering HTTP traffic to protect both legacy and cloud-native applications.
Allevio delivers WAF solutions that are tailored to your risk profile, environment, and compliance needs. Whether deploying a cloud-native WAF or fine-tuning an enterprise appliance, we ensure your applications are resilient, protected, and performing at their best.
