Web Application Firewall

According to the Web Application Security Consortium, more than 87% of Web applications carry a vulnerability classified as "high risk" or worse, with about half of the vulnerabilities detectable through purely automated scanning.

Safeguard Application Performance and Availability with Web Application Firewall

Akamai's Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a highly scalable edge defense service with the ability to detect and mitigate potential attacks in http and SSL traffic as it passes through Akamai's EdgePlatform, before they reach the customer's origin data centers.
WAF's distributed architecture enables both instantaneous scaling of defenses as needed, plus filtering of corrupt traffic as close to the attack source as possible—to keep your data, applications and infrastructure in the clear.

Benefits

Operational and Technical Benefits

  • Enable automatic, on-demand scaling to handle massive attacks
  • Mitigate attacks at the source, away from the origin datacenter
  • Eliminate need to provision and architect for Web application firewall failover
  • Offload and augment existing security architecture
