What is Symantec WAF?

The Symantec Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Reverse Proxy utilize the sophisticated ProxySG platform to both protect and improve the efficiency of web and mobile applications. As web and mobile environments become essential to numerous business functions, acting as critical platforms for necessary applications, the foundational web server infrastructures are increasingly challenged by complex threats that conventional security measures, such as Intrusion Prevention Systems, Load Balancers, and Next-Generation Firewalls, are often unable to handle. Fortunately, the Symantec WAF and Reverse Proxy tackle these new challenges effectively through the use of advanced content detection technologies, ensuring rapid content delivery while streamlining operations. With a resilient proxy framework, these solutions equip organizations to not only protect their web and mobile applications but also enhance performance for end users, clients, employees, and partners. This holistic strategy not only secures valuable assets but also significantly improves the user experience, which is crucial in the rapidly evolving digital environment we navigate today. Furthermore, by integrating these advanced security measures, businesses can confidently innovate and expand their digital offerings while maintaining a high standard of security and performance.
