The F5 Web Application Firewall solution is delivered by F5's industry-leading BIG-IP Application Security Manager (ASM) and BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM), providing advanced firewall capabilities by securing applications from layer 7 DDoS attacks, malicious bot traffic, common application vulnerabilities and all OWASP top 10 threats. The shared-responsibility model makes the application owner accountable for application security, the onus is on you to protect your application against common threats including web scraping, web injection, brute force and zero day-attacks - all of which are preventable through implementation of F5's WAF solution. Using automated learning capabilities, dynamic profiling and risk based policies, the BIG-IP ASM imposes additional security precautions to prevent even the most sophisticated attacks from ever reaching your application servers. In addition to attack mitigation, powerful reporting capabilities allow for easy, real-time analysis of attacks; allowing you to quickly make informed security decisions. Compliance with all major regulatory standards including PCI-DSS, HIPAA and FFIEC is also ensured. F5 designed CloudFormation templates provide the option to deploy an auto scaling cluster whereby additional Pay-As-You-Go WAF instances are spun up during periods of increased traffic, and retracted when traffic subsides, ensuring you optimize your operational expenditure and application security.
