Challenges with Traditional WAF. We often hear from industry members who switched from traditional Web Application Firewall to next Gen WAF what made them switch.
1 - Application and Web Usage ControlApplication and web usage control answers the concern, what type of traffic is blocked? The WAF uses multiple identification categories to identify their exact identity of websites and applications crossing the network and determine how to treat them.
2 - Advanced Web Application Security AnalyticsNot only does the cloud-based WAF address emerging attacks that most web apps are experiencing, but it offers steady improvements to threat visibility and analytics.
Providing a WAF policy that is correlated with the risk of the application and doing it continuously is the main benefit of new Age WAF such as AppTrana.
There are key differences between traditional and new-age WAF. If the traditional WAF goes inadequate for whatever reasons, your web app will be reachable for attackers.
