web application firewall

About this tag
A web application firewall (WAF) is a security tool that filters and monitors HTTP traffic between a web application and the internet. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover WAF deployment in cloud environments, such as Microsoft Azure CDN and WAF for Power Pages in government clouds, and highlight vulnerabilities in specific WAF products like Fortinet FortiWeb, where SQL injection flaws (CVE-2025-25257) have been added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Other threads address broader security practices, including VPS maintenance and protection against remote code execution in SharePoint, emphasizing the role of WAFs in defending against common attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. The tag is relevant for IT professionals managing web security, particularly in enterprise and government settings.
