A Web application firewall protects Web servers from malicious traffic and blocks attempts to compromise the system.
It prevents targeted attacks that include cross-site scripting, SQL injection, forceful browsing, cookie poisoning and invalid input.
The F5 BIG-IP® Application Security Manager is a Web application firewall that uses both positive and negative security models to identify, isolate and block sophisticated attacks without impacting legitimate application transactions.
