- +Related to: network-security, intrusion-prevention-system
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
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
