WAFs and API Security
WAFs provide limited protection against application attacks and cannot address top API threats, including those in the OWASP API Security Top 10. These threats exploit unique API logic and cannot be detected through signatures or WAF configuration. Most managed WAF rulesets focus on common CMS platforms like WordPress or Drupal, which do not typically host APIs, leaving significant gaps in security. Effective API protection requires full traffic analysis and advanced threat detection to identify vulnerabilities and safeguard sensitive data against evolving attacks.
