Azure WAF is Microsoft Azure’s cloud-native web application firewall service that protects web applications and APIs from common threats such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and OWASP Top 10 attacks. It provides managed rule sets (including OWASP rules), customizable policies, rate-limiting and bot mitigation, and can be deployed with Azure Front Door, Application Gateway, or other Azure networking services. The service scales with traffic, integrates with Azure Monitor and logging for real‑time telemetry and incident response, and supports automation via APIs and templates for centralized policy management. Organizations use Azure WAF to reduce attack surface, meet compliance requirements, and streamline security operations in Azure-hosted web environments.
