Top WAF Use Cases

Protecting E-Commerce Platforms from Fraud and Data Breaches

E-commerce websites are prime targets for cybercriminals due to the sensitive customer data they handle, such as credit card information and personal details. A WAF can:

Prevent SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks that aim to steal customer data.
Block fraudulent transactions and protect against payment gateway exploits.
Ensure compliance with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) requirements.

Securing Banking and Financial Applications

Financial institutions are highly regulated and must protect sensitive financial data. A WAF helps:

Defend against DDoS attacks that can disrupt online banking services.
Prevent account takeover attacks and credential stuffing.
Ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR, GLBA, and SOX.

Shielding Government Websites from Cyberattacks

Government websites and public sector applications are often targeted by hackers for political or financial gain. A WAF can:

Block nation-state attacks and hacktivist activities.
Prevent defacement and unauthorized access to sensitive citizen data.
Ensure compliance with government cybersecurity standards and frameworks.

Protecting Healthcare Websites and Patient Data

Healthcare providers and platforms store highly sensitive patient information, making them a target for cyberattacks. A WAF can:

Protect against ransomware and data exfiltration attempts.
Block attacks targeting electronic health records (EHR) systems.
Ensure compliance with HIPAA and other healthcare data protection regulations.

Defending SaaS Platforms and Cloud Applications

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers and cloud-based applications are vulnerable to attacks that exploit application vulnerabilities. A WAF helps:

Mitigate OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, such as insecure APIs and broken authentication.
Prevent zero-day exploits by leveraging real-time threat intelligence.
Ensure high availability and reliability by filtering malicious traffic.

Securing Online Gaming Platforms and APIs

Online gaming platforms are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to their large user bases, in-game transactions, and valuable virtual assets. A WAF can:

Prevent cheating and fraud by blocking malicious bots and scripts that exploit game mechanics.
Protect user accounts from credential stuffing and account takeover attacks.
Secure payment gateways used for in-game purchases and subscriptions.
Defend against DDoS attacks that can disrupt gameplay and cause revenue loss.
Ensure the security of gaming APIs to prevent data leaks and unauthorized access.
