Web Application Firewall
Developers should learn and use WAFs when building or maintaining web applications that handle sensitive data, such as e-commerce sites, banking platforms, or healthcare portals, to mitigate security vulnerabilities and meet regulatory requirements like PCI DSS
Pros
- +It is essential for protecting against OWASP Top 10 threats and reducing the risk of data breaches, especially in production environments where traditional firewalls are insufficient for application-layer defense
- +Related to: cybersecurity, owasp-top-10
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Intrusion Detection and Prevention System if: You want it's crucial for compliance (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Web Application Firewall if: You prioritize it is essential for protecting against owasp top 10 threats and reducing the risk of data breaches, especially in production environments where traditional firewalls are insufficient for application-layer defense over what Intrusion Detection and Prevention System offers.
