Qualys Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a service based on virtual appliances designed to streamline application security while minimizing operational costs and complexity. Utilizing a cohesive platform, it consistently identifies threats using proprietary inspection logic and rulesets, and can provide virtual patches for web application vulnerabilities as necessary. Its straightforward, scalable, and flexible methodology enables rapid blocking of web application attacks, safeguarding sensitive information from exposure, and regulating access to your applications. Qualys WAF can function independently or in conjunction with Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS), which enhances the process of discovering and addressing web application vulnerabilities efficiently, regardless of whether you manage a few applications or many. By employing Qualys WAS for scanning and enabling one-click virtual patches for any identified vulnerabilities in the WAF, users can oversee everything from a centralized cloud portal, ensuring seamless management. Moreover, the deployment of Qualys WAF can be completed in just minutes, and it offers support for SSL/TLS, further enhancing its security capabilities. This combination of features makes it a robust solution for protecting web applications in today’s ever-evolving threat landscape.
