The Impact of WAF on Web Application Performance


Mozamel M. Saeed
Abstract

Web Servers are core components within the information technology industry, the need for security for these critical elements is tremendous. Security is critical, but so performance is also important for the continued success of the digital business. Using a web application firewall can inspect the data of the application traffic; you can parse, twist, and modify content wherever you want. You can afford, but it doesn't mean that security is free. It uses processing and memory power to inspect application traffic to find attacks. While many enterprises ignore the critical need for the web application’s security layer, a vast amount of financial losses occurred compared to the average resources cost for deploying a web application firewall. This research, will try to explore a performance test for web application protected by web application firewall.
