What is F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall)?
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF leverages F5's Advanced WAF technology, delivering WAF-as-a-Service and combining signature- and behavior-based protection for web applications. It acts as an intermediate proxy to inspect application requests and responses to block and mitigate a broad spectrum of risks stemming from the OW ASP Top 10, persistent and coordinated threat campaigns, bots, and layer 7 DoS.
Benefits
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF is designed to ease the burden and complexity of consistently securing distributed web apps by delivering:
- Simplified operations: SaaS-delivered WAF that’s set up, deployed, managed and scale across clouds, on-premises data centers, and edge sites.
- DevOps agility + SecOps control: Delivers the programmability that DevOps needs combined with the efficacy and oversight that SecOps mandates, enabling faster application delivery and release cycles.
- Reduced time to resolution: Improves visibility and insight across WAF and DDoS security events, and into app performance, including intuitive drill-down capabilities.
- Comprehensive protection with fewer false positives: Utilizes both signature-based and AI/ML based detection techniques with automatic signature tuning to ensure maximum efficacy and reduced SecOps workloads.
F5 Distributed Cloud WAF (Web Application Firewall) Features
- Supported: Attack signature engine: Captures Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) plus known vulnerabilities and techniques identified by F5 Labs, including Layer 7 DDoS, threat campaigns, bots, and automated threats.
- Supported: Advanced behavior engine: Leverages AI/ML to monitor and score client interactions, deciphering intent based on the number of WAF rules hit, forbidden access attempts, login failures, and error rates, to help identify an app’s highest priority threats.
- Supported: Service policy engine: Enables micro segmentation and advanced security at the application layer, utilizing IP reputation and allow/deny lists to block clients with known bad TLS fingerprints, ASNs from suspicious countries.
- Supported: Automatic attack signature tuning: Determines if a signature-identified attack is really a threat, helping reduce the number of false positives.
- Supported: Streamlined set-up and management: Deploy through a simple UI or automate via APIs including best- practice default protections and the flexibility to create custom rules.
- Supported: Multi-app dashboards: Observability via a single dashboard with a 360-degree view of app performance and security events across distributed applications.
