When surfing the web, a web application firewall keeps you safe. Watch to learn more about WAFs and what they do. \n\nA WAF, or a web application firewall, is a firewall specifically designed for the web. It monitors data packets as the travel to and from websites or web applications. WAFs are important to enterprises that provide products over the internet -- like online bankers and retailers, social media platforms and mobile app developers -- because WAFs help prevent data leakage.\n\nThey also protect web systems against zero-day exploits, malware infections, impersonation, and other threats -- all things important to keep out of an enterprise. \n\nDo you use a WAF? Any other security measures? Let us know about it in the comments, and please remember to like this video. \n\n\nRead more about WAFs: https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/Web-application-firewall-WAF/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=AsPbiqzfSgk&offer=video-AsPbiqzfSgk\n\nSubscribe to Eye on Tech for more videos covering the latest in business technology, including security, networking, AI, DevOps, enterprise strategy, storage, devices and more: \nhttps://www.youtube.com/EyeOnTech \n\nStay up to date on the latest security news: https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/\n\nFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SearchSecurity\n\nLike us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SearchSecurity.com/\n\n#WAF #WebApplicationFirewall #EyeOnTech","@type":"VideoObject","@context":"https://schema.org"}
