Data theft and fraud
Attackers can exploit application flaws to steal customer data, payment details or sensitive business information.
Stop web attacks before they reach your applications.
Our Web Application Firewall (WAF) services inspect, filter and block malicious traffic to protect your websites and web applications — reducing risk, downtime and data exposure.
Four common risks to your web applications.
Web applications are constantly targeted by automated tools and skilled attackers. These risks can lead to data breaches, service disruption and reputational damage.
Account takeover
Automated attacks such as credential stuffing can give attackers unauthorised access to user accounts.
Service disruption
Bot attacks and exploit attempts can degrade performance or take your website offline.
Reputational and regulatory impact
A successful attack can damage customer trust and lead to regulatory investigations or compliance issues.
How our WAF services protect your business.
We deploy and manage WAF solutions using a risk-based, application-aware approach. Our configurations are tailored to your environment, reducing risk without disrupting legitimate users.
- Application profiling and risk analysis
- Threat filtering and rule enforcement

Important to understand.
A WAF reduces risk, but cannot guarantee prevention.
No security control can block every attack. Determined attackers may still find new ways to evade defences.
Rules need testing and tuning.
Review rule changes to reduce false positives and avoid disrupting legitimate visitors.
A WAF does not replace patching or secure development.
A WAF is a compensating control and works best alongside secure coding practices, regular patching and vulnerability management.
Illustrative WAF scenarios.
Blocking credential stuffing attacks
In a hypothetical business scenario, automated login attempts using leaked passwords could be identified and blocked by the WAF before account takeovers occur.

In a hypothetical example, exposure of a vulnerable endpoint could be detected and blocked by the WAF until a permanent fix could be applied, preventing data compromise.
