Find out in this report how the two Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a firewall security system that monitors incoming and outgoing traffic for applications and websites based on your pre-defined web security rules. AWS WAF defends applications and websites from common Web attacks that could otherwise damage application performance and availability and compromise security.
You can create rules in AWS WAF that can include blocking specific HTTP headers, IP addresses, and URI strings. These rules prevent common web exploits, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting. Once defined, new rules are deployed within seconds, and can easily be tracked so you can monitor their effectiveness via real-time insights. These saved metrics include URIs, IP addresses, and geo locations for each request.
AWS WAF Features
Some of the solution's top features include:
Reviews from Real Users
AWS WAF stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its user-friendly interface and its integration capabilities.
Kavin K., a security analyst at M2P Fintech, writes, “I believe the most impressive features are integration and ease of use. The best part of AWS WAF is the cloud-native WAF integration. There aren't any hidden deployments or hidden infrastructure which we have to maintain to have AWS WAF. AWS maintains everything; all we have to do is click the button, and WAF will be activated. Any packet coming through the internet will be filtered through.”
Only NetScaler uses a one-pass architecture for traffic processing that enables it to perform web application firewall (WAF) inspection in a single pass. This significantly reduces the latency of each request for optimal application performance. And because advanced WAF capabilities come built in with NetScaler, there’s no need to purchase a separate WAF solution.
For the most comprehensive protection from OWASP Top 10 attacks to zero-day exploits, NetScaler WAF employs a hybrid security model that incorporates policies, profiles, and signatures to protect against known and unknown web application attacks.
To save you time, NetScaler WAF uses automated learning, called dynamic profiling, to understand how a protected application works. By using a repetitive-pattern filter, NetScaler WAF adapts to the application even as developers continue to develop and deploy it, so it is always protected.
We monitor all Web Application Firewall (WAF) reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
