- Ability to add some settings in “alert only” mode while keeping the rest of the policy in block mode
- Improved security posture
- Ease of configuration
- Less false positives alerts/blocks
Applying the F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) was very simple. We only had to add one exception and we automatically have more signatures enabled than previously applied on our on-prem WAF
No - N/a - all apps are on-prem only
