What is F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall)?
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF leverages F5's Advanced WAF technology, delivering WAF-as-a-Service and combining signature- and behavior-based protection for web applications. It acts as an intermediate proxy to inspect application requests and responses to block and mitigate a broad spectrum of risks stemming from the OW ASP Top 10, persistent and coordinated threat campaigns, bots, and layer 7 DoS.
Benefits
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF is designed to ease the burden and complexity of consistently securing distributed web apps by delivering:
- Simplified operations: SaaS-delivered WAF that’s set up, deployed, managed and scale across clouds, on-premises data centers, and edge sites.
- DevOps agility + SecOps control: Delivers the programmability that DevOps needs combined with the efficacy and oversight that SecOps mandates, enabling faster application delivery and release cycles.
- Reduced time to resolution: Improves visibility and insight across WAF and DDoS security events, and into app performance, including intuitive drill-down capabilities.
- Comprehensive protection with fewer false positives: Utilizes both signature-based and AI/ML based detection techniques with automatic signature tuning to ensure maximum efficacy and reduced SecOps workloads.
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) Features
- Supported: Attack signature engine: Captures Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) plus known vulnerabilities and techniques identified by F5 Labs, including Layer 7 DDoS, threat campaigns, bots, and automated threats.
- Supported: Advanced behavior engine: Leverages AI/ML to monitor and score client interactions, deciphering intent based on the number of WAF rules hit, forbidden access attempts, login failures, and error rates, to help identify an app’s highest priority threats.
- Supported: Service policy engine: Enables micro segmentation and advanced security at the application layer, utilizing IP reputation and allow/deny lists to block clients with known bad TLS fingerprints, ASNs from suspicious countries.
- Supported: Automatic attack signature tuning: Determines if a signature-identified attack is really a threat, helping reduce the number of false positives.
- Supported: Streamlined set-up and management: Deploy through a simple UI or automate via APIs including best- practice default protections and the flexibility to create custom rules.
- Supported: Multi-app dashboards: Observability via a single dashboard with a 360-degree view of app performance and security events across distributed applications.

Becomes easier with F5 Distributed Cloud WAF
As stated earlier, it really make your life easy in terms of managing multiple applications from any hybrid kind of environment. Most of the customers today have got distributed workloads or data centers which itself it tough to manage. By using F5 products, the manageability around it becomes very easy.
My team does not have to do complex policy changes and has to worries to maintain consistencies throughout multiple policies to protect our customer's environments.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF review
The integrations that was able to cover any gaps for our existing technology was an important component when deploying F5 Distributed Cloud WAF. Needed to integrate with Service Now, Crowdstrike, and AWS which F5 Distributed Cloud WAF fully supported. I was able to improve productivity because it took less time to look across different solution platforms.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) Review
They have made it way easier to do the older ASM modules. You had to tune it. It took weeks up to months, it took a while. This is a lot easier. They have a lot of learning that it can do itself, so it makes it easier.

All-in-one approach in multiple security vectors
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) aims to reduce the
complexity of securing apps anywhere - across multiple environments so We benefit from the simplicity of making the configurations in fewer clicks, reducing complexity and time to apply adjustments, this translates into a great advance compared to its predecessor

SImple and effective product!
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) allows us to delegate web application responsibility to the developers. The API-first console allows devs to integrate WAF setup with their pipeline. Having the devs handle the majority of the web application security allows for other teams to audit their configurations and for the networking team to focus on their projects.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF reduced the complexity of securing our internal and cloud hosted applications
I agree it has reduced the complexity of securing our internal and cloud hosted applications. On-premise applications and websites are hard to protect and F5 Distributed Cloud WAF is a product we benefited from greatly. Our apps feel far more secure with the features that are provided to us. Great product!

F5 BEST WAF FOR COMMERCE!!
It has been greatly simplified since having a centrally managed platform, as well as easier use unlike the previous one with the configurations, makes it faster to apply these configurations, have a greater focus on threat detection and be able to mitigate in a more automated way, this is a great value for the consumer!!

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF FTW!!
Security is now inherently available while applications are migrating between environments. We don’t need to be concerned with exposure while apps are moved, and there are not multiple ways to secure this application.
