What role does and should WAF’s play in defending the digital frontier?
IT - ROUNDTABLE
How do we overcome the challenge of integrating next-gen Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) into the business so as to mitigate false positives and add value?
Legacy Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) have traditionally played a crucial role in the overall web application security framework. However, their use has also resulted in significant challenges due to the complex nature of managing whitelist and signature- based techniques. They also necessitate ongoing adjustments to mitigate the occurrence of erroneous positive detections, which can lead to the malfunctioning of web applications, especially true if they are not closely integrated with the development process. So, how do we overcome these challenges and make these adjustments? Furthermore, how can an accurate, flexible, and easy-to-use application security monitoring platform help?
