What is the OWASP Top 10? #
The OWASP Top 10 is a standard awareness document for developers and security professionals, representing the most common security risks to web applications globally.
Key Risks and WAF Mitigation #
| OWASP Risk (Example) | Description | WAF Mitigation |
| A03: Injection (SQLi/XSS) | Attacker sends malicious data to be executed by the interpreter. | The WAF uses context-aware rules to identify and block common SQL and Scripting commands in input fields. |
| A01: Broken Access Control | Users gain access to data or functionality they should not have. | The WAF can enforce path and resource access controls, blocking requests to sensitive administrative files. |
| A04: Insecure Design | Flaws in the application logic itself. | WAF uses rate limiting and behavioral analysis to block automated exploits targeting weak application logic. |
