WAF (Web Application Firewall)

This document discusses web application firewalls (WAFs) and FortiWeb. It defines a WAF as a layer 7 appliance that protects web applications from application layer attacks. It describes the different modes WAFs can operate in, including learning, active, and passive modes. It also explains how WAFs work by learning normal traffic patterns, then blocking requests that deviate from normal behaviors based on signatures. The document discusses how FortiWeb can protect both traditional and API-based web applications, and lists some of its features like bot mitigation, advanced protections, behavioral validation, and integration with Fortinet products. Finally, it outlines the different form factors FortiWeb is available in, including appliances, virtual machines, public cloud

WAF Definition
A web application firewall (WAF) is a layer 7 appliance, protects web
applications from a variety of
application layer attacks such as (SQL Injection, HTTP Flood, Cross site
Scripting)
WAF Modes
• Learning Mode: learn the WAF, what’s the normal behavior of the Clients
Inputs.

• Active Mode: Block the malicious Inputs.

• Passive Mode: don’t Block the malicious Inputs instead just Log it.
How WAF Works

1. WAF learn the normal traffic during the learning mode


2. Malicious Traffic Signature Based
3. signatures Based (IP, URL, User Agent, etc..)
4. Abnormal Behaviors
Web Application and API Protection
FortiWeb addresses the key challenges that
organizations face when deploying Internet-facing
web applications:
BOT MITIGATION

• Web App Protection


• Bot Mitigation
• API Protection
Traditional Web Applications vs. API Based Apps
get
Traditional Web Applications
• Most processing takes place on
the server
HTML • Browser renders the HTML

API get
API Based Applications
• Relies on more powerful clients
to process raw data
• Better performance
• Better user experience for mobile
devices.
