Web Application Firewall
Azure Web Application Firewall is a networking service designed to protect web applications from common hacking techniques like SQL injection and cross-site scripting. It acts as a security layer to secure your apps by filtering and monitoring HTTP traffic. This tool helps developers maintain application integrity against known web vulnerabilities without requiring complex manual configuration.
You should choose this service when you need to safeguard web apps from specific web-based attacks using a pay-as-you-go pricing model. Be aware that there is no free tier available for this service, meaning you will incur costs immediately upon usage. This financial structure requires careful monitoring to avoid unexpected charges during initial deployment or testing phases.
