Web Application Security & Compliance

Protect your web applications before they’re breached

73% of cyber-attacks target web applications.
If your website, customer portal, or API is public-facing, it is a primary attack surface.

Why your business needs a WAF now

Web applications are the #1 target for modern cyber attacks, and traditional network security isn’t enough.

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects your websites, APIs and customer portals from automated attacks, bots and exploitation attempts before they reach your infrastructure.

Sophisticated attacks bypass traditional defences

Modern attacks target the application layer, not just the network.
‍
SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), credential stuffing and bot attacks are designed to bypass legacy firewalls and exploit vulnerabilities in web applications.Without a dedicated WAF, attackers can access sensitive data, customer accounts and backend systems.

Web application attacks are increasing rapidly

73% of cyber attacks target web applications.Public-facing websites, APIs and customer portals are constantly scanned for vulnerabilities. Automated bots probe thousands of organisations every day looking for exploitable weaknesses.

A single vulnerability can expose sensitive customer data and trigger regulatory reporting obligations.

A breach is now a regulatory and board-level risk

A successful web application breach can trigger Notifiable Data Breaches reporting, regulatory scrutiny under frameworks such as APRA CPS 234, increased board and ASIC disclosure obligations, and significant reputational damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a Web Application Firewall (WAF)?

If your organisation runs public-facing websites, customer portals or APIs, a WAF is essential. Web applications are one of the most common entry points for attackers, and a WAF helps block threats such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, bot attacks and API abuse before they reach your systems.

What is the difference between Imperva Cloud WAF and Imperva WAF Gateway?

Imperva Cloud WAF is a cloud-delivered solution that protects applications at the network edge with fast deployment and minimal management. Imperva WAF Gateway is typically used in on-premise or hybrid environments, giving organisations more granular control over policies and deployments.

Which Imperva WAF is right for my organisation?

Choosing the right WAF depends on your environment and security requirements. Consider factors such as whether your applications are cloud-hosted or on-premise, regulatory requirements around data location, how much control you need over security policies, and whether you want a solution that works out-of-the-box with minimal management.

Can a WAF help with compliance requirements?

Yes. A WAF can support compliance with frameworks such as PCI DSS, APRA CPS 234, and data protection regulations by helping organisations protect web applications that process or store sensitive data.

Will a WAF slow down my website or applications?

Modern WAF solutions such as Imperva Cloud WAF are designed to run at the edge of the network, filtering malicious traffic before it reaches your infrastructure. This often improves performance by reducing malicious traffic and unnecessary load on your servers.

What is the OWASP Top 10 and why does it matter?

Cloud-based WAF solutions can typically be deployed within hours or days, depending on your environment. DPS works with organisations to design, implement and optimise WAF protection to ensure strong security with minimal disruption to your applications.
