Not all WAF solutions are the same, and when we talk about a Traditional WAF to an Advanced WAF, the features that separate them are notable.
On October 13, 2014, the F5 Web Application Firewall (WAF) was recommended by NSS LABS (Independent Testing Firm) for its performance, reliability, and attack prevention.
Key findings and lab results revealed that F5’s Web Application Firewall (WAF), the BIG-IP ASM 10200, has proven effective in resisting all tested evasion techniques. In addition, it has successfully passed all stability and reliability tests, highlighting its ability to guarantee consistent performance. In terms of security, the WAF has impressively blocked 99.21% of WAF attacks, evidencing its robust defense against cyber threats. Additionally, it has been rated at a remarkable speed of 36,130 connections per second (CPS), underscoring its ability to handle a significant volume of traffic efficiently. These results highlight the effectiveness and performance of the F5 WAF as tested.
“Enterprises are increasingly relying on web applications to deliver mission-critical services to customers,” said Vikram Phatak, CEO of NSS Labs. “Web application firewalls are what keep applications secure. Being recommended by NSS is not “The F5 BIG-IP ASM 10200 earned its ‘Recommended’ status by demonstrating extremely high protection, along with low false positive rates, excellent performance and overall value.”
