Protect Your Apps from the Inside Out

Defend against web-based attacks with application-layer security designed for today’s dynamic, cloud-first environments.

What Is a Web Application Firewall (WAF), and Why It Matters

Your applications are open for business—and under constant attack.

Modern web applications are highly exposed to the internet, making them prime targets for threats like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), credential stuffing, and API abuse. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) provides critical protection by inspecting and filtering HTTP traffic at the application layer—blocking malicious activity before it reaches your apps or users.

At TeleSwitch, we help organizations evaluate cloud-delivered, managed, and integrated WAF solutions that align with their infrastructure, compliance needs, and development workflows—without the complexity of managing hardware or software directly.

What You Gain with a WAF Protection

Application-layer security that scales with your digital footprint.

  • Protection against OWASP Top 10 and other advanced threats

  • Real-time filtering of web and API traffic

  • Automated rulesets and adaptive threat detection

  • Integration with DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud-native environments

  • Detailed logging, alerting, and compliance reporting

How Businesses Are Using WAF Services Today

Secure apps, APIs, portals, and everything in between.

  • Protecting e-commerce, SaaS, and customer portals from injection attacks

  • Blocking bots and DDoS traffic targeting login or checkout forms

  • Securing APIs used by mobile apps or partner integrations

  • Enforcing consistent policies across multiple cloud environments

  • Meeting data protection and compliance requirements for regulated industries

The Strategic Value of Expert Guidance

WAFs aren’t one-size-fits-all—and configuration matters.

Different providers offer varying levels of automation, flexibility, and visibility. Some are optimized for AWS, Azure, or multi-cloud deployments. Others specialize in performance or bot mitigation. Without a clear plan, WAFs can be underutilized—or worse, misconfigured.

At TeleSwitch, we help you define your protection goals, compare providers, and implement a WAF solution that matches your business logic, compliance needs, and threat landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clarity on WAF services and how they protect your business.

  • Is a WAF the same as a traditional firewall?

    No. Traditional firewalls focus on network-layer protection. WAFs operate at the application layer, filtering HTTP/S traffic and protecting apps from logic-based attacks.

  • Can a WAF help with compliance?

    Yes. WAFs are often required for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, and other security standards involving web-facing systems.

  • Do I need coding knowledge to use a WAF?
    Not at all. Most solutions offer predefined rulesets and managed services that make WAF protection easy to deploy and maintain.

  • Will this slow down my website or app?
    When properly configured, WAFs are designed for low-latency performance and may include content delivery and caching features.

  • Can I protect APIs with a WAF?
    Absolutely. Many modern WAFs support API security, including rate limiting, schema validation, and threat detection for REST and GraphQL endpoints.
