FortiWeb: Web Application Firewall (WAF) & API Protection

FortiWeb, Fortinet’s Web Application Firewall, protects your business-critical web applications from attacks that target known and unknown vulnerabilities.

The attack surface of your web applications evolves rapidly, changing every time you deploy new features, update existing ones, or expose new web APIs. You need a solution that can keep up. FortiWeb is that solution.

FortiWeb: Web Application and API Protection Use Cases

Web applications and APIs have become the tools of choice for building business-critical applications, and those applications must keep up with needs of the business. FortiWeb offers the performance, manageability, and broad protection capabilities required to protect these modern web applications.

Application Protection

Block known and zero-day threats to applications without blocking legitimate users and without the excessive management overhead that traditional application learning requires.

ApI Protection

Protect the APIs that support mobile applications and enable B2B communication.

Bot Mitigation

Block malicious bot activity without blocking bots that support legitimate business needs, such as search engines, or health and performance monitoring tools.

Features and Benefits

Proven Web Application and API Protection

FortiWeb protects against all OWASP Top-10 threats, DDoS attacks, malicious bot attacks, and more to defend mission-critical web applications and APIs.

ML-based Threat Detection

In addition to regular signature updates and many other layers of defenses, FortiWeb uses ML to protect against zero-day attacks and minimize false positives.

Security Fabric Integration

Integration with FortiGate firewalls and FortiSandbox deliver protection from advanced persistent threats.

Advanced Visual Analytics

FortiWeb’s visual reporting tools provide detailed analyses of attack sources, types and other elements that provide insights not available with other WAF solutions

False Positive Mitigation Tools

Advanced tools that minimize the day-to-day management of policies and exception lists to ensure only unwanted traffic is blocked.

Hardware-based Acceleration

FortiWeb delivers industry-leading protected WAF throughputs and blazing fast secure traffic encryption/decryption.

FortiWeb’s WAF Solution

FortiWeb WAFs provide advanced features that defend your web applications and APIs from known and zero-day threats. Using an advanced multi-layered approach, FortiWeb protects against the OWASP Top 10 and more. FortiWeb ML customizes the protection of each application, providing robust protection without requiring the time-consuming manual tuning required by other solutions. With ML, FortiWeb identifies anomalous behavior and, more importantly, distinguishes between malicious and benign anomalies. The solution also features robust bot mitigation capabilities, allowing benign bots to connect (e.g. search engines) while blocking malicious bot activity.

FortiWeb offers deployment options that can protect business applications, no matter where the application is hosted. Options include hardware appliances, virtual machines, and containers that can be deployed in the data center, in cloud environments, or in the cloud-native SaaS solution, FortiWeb Cloud WAF as a Service.
