Web Application Firewall

Keep critical online data secure.

Give Employees and Customers Seamless, Secure Access to Web Applications

Hackers and cyber-criminals are continuously looking for ways to infiltrate your websites and applications. If successful, they can steal your application data, compromise your users and customers, bring down your entire website and wreak havoc on your business.

CenturyLink® Web Application Firewall delivers substantial web application protection from attacks and helps prevent costly data breaches and downtime. Combining multiple defenses, CenturyLink® Web Application Firewall accurately pinpoints and blocks attacks without blocking your customers.

While the volume of malicious content and variety of application attacks are growing, organisations like yours may increasingly rely on SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) applications to power your mission-critical CRM, human resources, employee benefits, accounting, billing and e-mail functions. Web Application Firewall Service provides valuable security protection for such applications, at an affordable cost. CenturyLink® Web Application Firewall delivers robust application protection to keep applications running smoothly while allowing your business to adhere to industry and compliance requirements.

The CenturyLink® Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution, is designed to deliver precisely that. WAF offers dynamic ongoing website protection, allowing application transactions only from authorised users and protecting critical data from a variety of attacks, such as hacking, phishing, site scraping, cross-site scripting and parameter tampering.

For any company concerned about security compliance, such as retail companies needing to meet PCI Compliance challenges, or healthcare companies faced with meeting HIPAA requirements, a Web Application Firewall is a wise investment in future success.
