Advanced Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Protect your apps, APIs, and data against the most prevalent cyberattacks—zero-day vulnerabilities, app-layer DoS attacks, threat campaigns, application takeover, and bots.
Unique capabilities set us apart.
BIG-IP Advanced WAF can identify and block attacks that other WAF solutions miss.
Advanced application protection
Advanced WAF combines machine learning, threat intelligence, and deep application expertise.
Defenses for the OWASP Top 10
Defends critical apps from today’s biggest security concerns, the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.
Security as code
Declarative API-based deployment and configuration enables delivering security as code.
In-browser data encryption
Encrypts data at the app layer to protect against data-extracting malware and man-in-the-browser attacks.
Behavioral DoS
Behavioral analytics and machine learning provide highly accurate L7 DoS detection and mitigation.
API protocol security
Deploys tools that secure GraphQL, REST/JSON, XML, and GWT APIs.
Stolen credential protection
Protects against brute-force attacks that use stolen credentials.
Proactive bot defense
Protects apps from automated attacks by bots and other malicious tools.
Why Advanced WAF?
Protect against the most prevalent attacks on your apps, without having to update the apps themselves
