WAF 2020

IMPORTANT: As announced, April 30, 2023 marked the formal retirement of the Fastly WAF (WAF Legacy and WAF 2020). Our Fastly Next-Gen WAF offers similar functionality. It monitors for suspicious and anomalous web traffic and protects, in real-time, against attacks directed at the applications and origin servers that you specify.

Fastly offers a Web Application Firewall (WAF) security product that allows you to detect malicious request traffic and either log it or log and block that traffic before it reaches your web application. The Fastly WAF provides rules that detect and block potential attacks. The rules are collected into a policy and deployed within your Fastly service at the edge.
