F5 Advanced Web Application Firewall Review
The web application firewall is a layer seven inspection engine to check for malicious traffic and malware and viruses that could be tunneled inside of a secure packet session. And the ASM module allows us to detect and block or allow conditions as needed to make the application function.

F5 Advanced WAF! More Advanced than you think
We use the F5 BIG-IP Advanecd WAF every day. It protects us every day against constant bad actors and their attacks, web scraping and just bad traffic probing. We are currently using 80% or more of its capabilities and allows us security responsible teams to have a good night sleep. We rely on it when it matters the most and gives us enough flexibility to work around and mitigate different attack vectors that we always see. We have a publicly facing web application and APIs that get all these undesired visits. Advanced WAF makes our day to day tasks a lot easier and gives us the priceless peace of mind our engineers need at night.

F5 Big-IP Advanced Web Application Firewall has protected us against numerous threats.
We have used F5 BIG-IP Advanced Web Application Firewall for protecting our apps both on prem and in the cloud. The enhanced features and granularity are far superior to native cloud WAFs. The ability to find the root cause of a session utilizing the SupportID is key in finding root cause for unexpected issues.

F5 Big-IP Advanced Web Application Firewall Review

DDoS protection
I use to propose F5 WAF to protect applications and APIs, because nowadays there are many applications which have open source code or third code that make then more vulnerable and for the fact that there are many types of attacks like SQLi, XXS, DDoS, bad bots attacks, client side attack and many more.

We've been using F5's WAF for many years in our organization. We utilize it for all external facing applications, our ecommerce platform as well as some internal applications. Through some fine tweaking we've made our environment highly scalable, resilient and secure. By far one of the best investments the enterprise has made and we plan on keeping these devices running for many years to come.
