The Forrester Wave™: Web Application Firewalls, Q3 2022
Web applications firewalls (WAFs) are a must-have to secure web applications. Today, WAFs need to protect a growing variety of applications across an ever-expanding set of deployment environments with limited skilled personnel. Multi-cloud environments and expanded API security capabilities are now a base requirement, as are ready-made partner integrations, enhanced usability and visibility, and greater automation.
Today’s WAF should be configurable and manageable on-demand (via a UI or infrastructure-as-code), employing the right controls regardless of the environment, with improved analysis and automation through threat intelligence. A WAF must also be quick, simple, and able to integrate just about anywhere.
In The Forrester Wave™: Web Application Firewalls, Q3 2022, Forrester Research identified the 12 most significant web application firewall (WAF) providers, then researched, analyzed, and scored them to see how they stack up relative to one another.
