WAF and NGFW: filter at the right layer

A WAF protects web apps; an NGFW filters the network with inspection. They are complementary, not interchangeable.

A WAF blocks application attacks (injection, exploit) in front of your apps. An NGFW segments and inspects traffic. Well configured, they cut noise and surface. MiliSec defines policy and checks rules during security reviews.

The MiliSec method

What we run for our Virtual CISO clients:

  • WAF in front of apps, NGFW on network.
  • Tune rules in reviews.
  • Reduce noise and surface.
