Web Application Firewall

Secure web application operation — not only in AWS.

Public-facing applications are probed continuously, and a single unpatched input is enough to expose the data behind them. AWS WAF protects your web applications against common exploits and vulnerabilities using customisable rules that filter attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. ORBIT analyses your exposure, configures the protection, tunes it against real traffic and operates it after go-live.

WHY AWS WAF

Robust protection against threats. Advanced security features protect your web applications from common web exploits and vulnerabilities.

Scalability and flexibility. Protection adapts to minimal or surging traffic without compromising the performance of your applications.

Cost-effectiveness. A pay-as-you-go pricing model means you can implement comprehensive security measures without facing unnecessary costs.

Integration with AWS services. AWS WAF deploys seamlessly within your existing infrastructure rather than sitting beside it.

Simple administration. An intuitive interface and pre-configured rules keep day-to-day operation straightforward for your team.

HOW WE DELIVER

Analysis and planning. We start by analysing your current security situation and identifying specific vulnerabilities and requirements. The result is a plan tailored to your needs — not a template ruleset applied to every customer.

Configuration and deployment. Our AWS team configures AWS WAF and sets the rules and policies that protect you from cyber threats. We ensure the deployment is seamless and that the WAF integrates cleanly with your existing infrastructure.

Testing and optimisation. Through thorough testing we verify that AWS WAF effectively protects your applications, and we make the adjustments needed to optimise performance and security. This is where most WAF projects succeed or fail: rules that are never tuned against real traffic either block legitimate users or get switched off entirely.

Continuous administration and support. Protection is not a one-off deployment. We review rules as your applications change, respond to emerging threats and keep the ruleset current, so the WAF still reflects your risk months after go-live.

WHY ORBIT

A highly specialised team of architects and engineers focused on cloud modernisation and security projects, with extensive experience from large companies and cloud projects in the financial sector. Our specialisations are financial institutions, cloud architecture, security solutions, cloud compliance and cost optimisation. The AWS practice is led by Martin Gavanda, AWS Cloud Architect Lead at ORBIT.

Security work for regulated customers is held to a different standard, and that is the environment we work in every day. Banks and insurers make up much of our client base, which shapes how we approach evidence, documentation and handover.

Customers include Accace, Czech Savings Bank, Creditas, DR. Max, E-on, Erste Group, Generali, J&T Bank, KB, MONETA Money Bank, NLB, O2, Raiffeisenbank, SKB Bank, Skoda, Societe Generale, Tatra banka, Volkswagen and Zentiva.

"With the resulting solution we are able to easily and quickly identify resources that require attention." — Radim Jablonka, Cloud services delivery manager, MONETA Money Bank

HOW WE ENGAGE

This is a professional services offering, so the scope is always tailored to your applications, threat model and operating model. We begin with analysis and planning, agree the approach with your team, configure and deploy alongside your engineers, then test, tune and hand over. Ongoing administration and support can be included or the protection can be transferred fully to your team.

Scope, deliverables, timelines and commercials are captured in a Statement of Work agreed with you and transacted through AWS Marketplace as a private offer. Contact us to arrange a no-obligation scoping call.
