By implementing F5 Advanced WAF between applications and end users, businesses can decrypt and inspect all traffic before it enters the network or reaches the server in the cloud. The WAF will then use advanced detection and mitigation techniques to prevent customer data from being accessed, manipulated, or stolen.

F5 Advanced WAF provides advanced layer 7 (L7) security, protecting against L7 Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, malicious bot traffic, Open Web application Security Project (OWASP) Top 10 threats, and much more. F5 Advanced WAF helps businesses meet their security responsibility, with near real-time updates that maintain parity between data on-premise and in the cloud.

Compliance: F5 Advanced WAF ensures compliance with all major regulatory standards, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC).

Automated learning: Using automatic learning capabilities, dynamic profiling, unique anomaly detection methods, and risk-based policies, F5 Advanced WAF can impose additional policies to prevent the most sophisticated attacks from reaching applications.

Dynamic reporting: F5 Advanced WAF provides reporting capabilities that allow you to easily analyze incoming requests, track trends in violations, generate security reports, evaluate possible attacks, and make informed security decisions.
