I use and recommend F5 Advanced WAF as a web application firewall to protect various applications. It is particularly effective in load balancing and enforcing security policies.
I was in charge of the F5 on-premises solution, where I published several applications for certificate verification and protected various applications. Additionally, I was working with botnets.
We use this solution for load balancing and web application firewall (WAF) services. We use the solution standalone and not integrated with other solutions.
We use the solution for load balancing and web application firewall (WAF) balancing. We operate in a data center and use it for web application security and services.
Our clients mostly have their own applications, such as banking apps, and use F5 Advanced WAF to avoid vulnerabilities and threats on both the application layer and transport layer. We create web policies for their apps and configure ASM signatures to prevent vulnerabilities. After configuring the policies, I monitor logs continuously to block vulnerability attacks and assist clients in addressing any issues.
Primarily, the Advanced WAF sits behind our network perimeter. It centralizes traffic flow to our network, filters requests, and identifies any potential threats.

My clients often seek a comprehensive security solution for their hybrid environments, with both cloud and on-premise web applications. To address this, I recommend combining F5 Advanced WAF for web application security with Fortinet solutions, including FortiGate, FortiSign, and FortiAnalyzer, for broader network security aspects like vulnerability ranking, patch management, and remediation. I focus on FortiGate and FortiAnalyzer, collaborating with a colleague who manages firewall setup, ensuring a robust and unified security approach for our clients.
It is used for application security and load balancing. As we have a few customers who are using banking applications, and stock market applications, they are more concerned about security and how to protect the product and their business applications. And that's why we offer security applications. Besides that, there are new features for load balancing in the F5.

I work for a bank and our use case of WAF is to protect our applications, including mobile ones. We are users of this solution and I am an IT specialist engineer.
Recent progress in F5 Advanced WAF's cloud technology has broadened the use cases for web application firewalls (WAFs) to include multi-cloud environments.
Our company uses the solution for customer use cases to replicate environments, perform integrations, and check for changes or issues. We have many internal users because we have a wide database of customers. Most customers have WAF or Advanced WAF but if you dig deep from a high-level perspective, then you find issues with configurations or missing security enhancements. The platform is capable of doing many API integrations and other things. Customers with public websites use our client-facing service to upload attachments. Often, customers are not integrating the solution with a malware sandboxing tool. This feature is natively in-the-box so protection can be enabled with a few steps. We determine if attachments are uploading malicious files because there isn't protection in the normal solution. We find out if customers are doing vulnerability or risk assessments. Integration tools such as Qualys help because we can import a file to resolve F5 issues. For one use case, a customer might have enabled the tech signature for a specific tech but an IP exclusion or public IP exclusion is a bit risky. Another use case is for database security where we utilize the solution's very comprehensive security features. We can make a SQL database more visible to database security and order logs for the logins to the station tool.

What a WAF is happens to be exactly what we are using F5 WAF for: a firewall for our web applications. It is a totally customizable solution. You have our signature-based rule sets and then we can customize to our heart's content depending on what our application can and can not do or what we are trying to protect against. So we are using this for anything that is internet-facing. We are applying the WAF there and we are putting it in block mode wherever possible.

There is the Simple WAF and the Advanced WAF. We are currently working on the Advanced WAF, but previously, before the Advanced WAF came out, we were just using the Simple WAF. We use the on-prem version because the cloud solution is not that popular here. I have a customer here who has multiple applications dealing with the day to day operations. We have deployed the application firewall in the network and most of their web traffic from outside of their network comes into that WAF. This includes the email application Outlook and their own in-house application tools deployed that they use to sell their merchandise. They have a feature where you can transfer money to the other user based on their mobile phone number. So these web applications and in-house tools are the most used applications in their network.
