- Description
- As web applications become primary targets for sophisticated application-layer attacks, Azure Web Application Firewall continues to evolve to meet the needs of modern application security teams facing volumetric and targeted application layer threats. In this webinar, we will explore how Azure WAF enables a layered, adaptive approach to application-layer DDoS mitigation - helping organizations detect and block malicious request patterns through intelligent inspection, control traffic flow to prevent resource exhaustion from abusive sources, progressively challenge suspicious clients to verify legitimacy without disrupting real users, and combine multiple defense mechanisms into a cohesive mitigation strategy that adapts to evolving attack techniques. Whether you're securing customer-facing web apps or business-critical services, this session will equip you with practical approaches to building resilient application-layer defenses on Azure.
