When configuring a web application firewall using Signal Sciences, we configure a rule whereby no one except a few people can access the application.
The Fastly Next-Gen WAF, powered by Signal Sciences, offers effortless web application firewall rule configuration for selective access. Its API-driven design integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines like GitHub Actions. Fastly enables traffic tagging and insights but struggles with some malicious traffic capture and rule effectiveness. Custom rules are essential for WAF bypass prevention. While effective at traffic management, it lacks some features and caching support for China compared to Akamai.
