In this tutorial, we will get a brief about Azure Web Application Firewall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Web\u00a0Application Firewall (WAF) protects your web applications from typical attacks and vulnerabilities from a central location. Malicious attacks that make use of well-known flaws are increasingly targeting them. Among the most popular attacks are SQL injection and cross-site scripting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preventing similar attacks in application code, on the other hand, is difficult. At several layers of the application structure, it may need meticulous maintenance, patching, and monitoring. The use of a centralized web application firewall simplifies security administration. Furthermore, a WAF provides application managers with greater certainty of threat and intrusion prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WAF can deploy with Azure Application Gateway, Azure Front Door, and Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) service from Microsoft. However, WAF on Azure CDN is currently under public preview. But, WAF has features that are customized for each specific service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
