The increasing number of sophisticated cyberattacks, particularly those exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities, is posing a significant risk to organizations, highlighting the urgent need to bolster web application defenses. At the same time, stringent global data security and privacy regulations are heightening pressure on organizations to safeguard personal information and sensitive data, mitigating the risk of data breaches originating from web applications. Furthermore, the proliferation of public-facing application programming interfaces (APIs) is exacerbating API-related attacks, triggering investments in web application firewall (WAF) security solutions to safeguard both web applications and APIs from diverse cyber threats.
