Security protection to several web applications hosted in AWS.
We were looking to deploy a WAF out of the box with not to much maintenance and that will work out if the box.
One of the key Elements also was the WAF support for load balancing as we were looking to distribute the load of the web applications.

It's being used for our mobile apps we used and for the remote users we have. We used this as the secure gateway to protect the apps' integrity as well as the data going from the hospital campus to the users remotely as well as the ones in-house.
  • Provides full-spectrum security DOD-level protection; which is a big help for us for security of our data.
  • Ease of setup on her firewall for security for VPN users.
  • Configuration is easy to do and use for our security team with its features and pictures of instruction.
  • More innovative solutions for sniffing more on the network.
  • Have the advanced ability to close off ports when they could be getting tested from hackers for intrusion.
Good in providing threat protection especially our emails that come in from the outside. Capturing potential spam and malware from emails from outside our network has been good. Keeps us alert for anything coming in from the outside that could compromise our network.
  • DOD-level protection.
  • Its readiness to secure our data and network lines.
  • Built-in templates are easy to use and good to follow to make them our own to work how we do things.
  • Has been good in lessening threats from the outside.
  • Ease of use for our security team to be able to use templates and configure to our specs.
  • Being able to set as many rules as you like is a big plus.
Using the phishing and impersonation tool to rule out and capture phishing emails is good one we are using.
