Security News > 2021 > April > There’s a whole wide world of web application firewall options – so how do you choose the right one?

If you've got an application which faces the web, no one would dispute that you should probably have a web application firewall sitting in front of it.

Web apps, after all, are the leading cause of security breaches, and the web application firewall is first line of defence, preventing bad actors getting in in the first place, and then leaving with whatever goodies they've found.

The trick is working out which works for your organization, and your app.

It's a complicated equation to work your way through, but as always, we're here to help, with our upcoming webcast, Choosing the Right WAF Deployment Model, on April 13 at a very civilized 1100 BST. Your host will be our own Tim Phillips, who has worked through a fair few tricky equations himself over the years.

They'll help you work out where your WAF choices can - and should fit - with your app development lifecycle.

If you've even the slightest worry that your current web app protection is a little more whiff that WAF, just drop your details in the registration box, and we'll make sure to remind you on the day.
