The increase in scale limits allows organizations to have greater flexibility and to achieve more with fewer deployments in their environment. Scale Limit IncreasesĪzure WAFs running on the next generation WAF engine can now leverage increased scale limits in key configurations covering security and application needs. We will be discussing the enhancements which Generally Available in the following sections of this blog. We are happy to announce several enhancements to the configurations and monitoring capabilities of Azure WAF when used with Azure Application Gateway going forward. Previously, when you used the Azure WAF with Application Gateway, there were certain limitations in the way you could configure and monitor your WAF deployments. The Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) engine is the component that inspects traffic and determines whether a web-request represents a potential attack, then takes appropriate action depending on the configuration. A centralized web application firewall helps make security management much simpler and gives better assurance to application developers and security teams against threats or intrusions. Preventing such attacks in application code can be challenging and may require rigorous maintenance, patching, and monitoring at many layers of the application topology. SQL Injection (SQLi) and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) are examples of some well-known attacks. Web applications are increasingly targeted by malicious attacks that vulnerabilities. Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) on Azure Application Gateway provides centralized protection for your web applications against common vulnerabilities and exploits.
