A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a security solution designed to protect web applications from various online threats, such as cyber attacks, data breaches, and unauthorized access

Firewalls focus on network security, while Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) specifically protect web applications by filtering application-layer threats like SQL injection and XSS.

There are two main types of WAFs: Network-based WAF is deployed at the network perimeter and Host-based WAF is installed directly on the web application server.

ADR stands for "Adaptive Defense and Response" in cybersecurity. It is a comprehensive security approach that combines advanced threat detection, analysis, and response capabilities to safeguard against evolving cyber threats.

ADR is employed to enhance cybersecurity by providing adaptive and responsive measures against sophisticated cyber threats. It utilizes advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and behavioral analytics to detect and respond to cyber threats in real-time, offering a proactive defense strategy to safeguard digital assets and sensitive information.

APIDS (Application Intrusion Detection System) is a key feature focusing on monitoring, analyzing, and protecting web applications from intrusions, ensuring proactive defense against potential threats.

ADR excels in mitigating Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) and Brute Force attacks on web servers by monitoring traffic patterns, distinguishing between legitimate and malicious requests, ensuring web application availability, and performance even in the face of sophisticated attacks.

xIoTz ADR aligns with essential frameworks like OWASP Top 10 and SANS 25 to address critical web application security risks. It provides a comprehensive comparison and mitigation strategy for each vulnerability outlined in these frameworks.
