Overview

1/1

F5's Managed Rules for AWS WAF offer an additional layer of protection that can be easily applied to your AWS WAF. F5's Bot Protection rules analyze all incoming requests and block any malicious bot activities identified, including DDoS tools, vulnerability scanners, web scrapers, and forum spam tools. All rules are written, managed and regularly updated by F5's security specialists to ensure protection against evolving threats without the need for intervention on your part. The rules are licensed on a pay-as-you-go basis so you will only pay for what you use. Deployment guidance can be found at https://pages.awscloud.com/rs/112-TZM-766/images/F5_OWASP_Getting%20Started%20Guide.pdf .

Alternatively, if you require more sophisticated protection then F5's Advanced WAF or Shape Enterprise Defense may be more appropriate solutions. F5 Advanced WAF leverages behavioral analytics and machine learning to thwart complex app-layer attacks, while Shape Enterprise Defense offers market-leading bot protection capable of determining if requests originate from bots and whether they have malicious or benign intent.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of F5 BIG-IP Advanced WAF ln Enhancing Application Security

Reviewed on Jun 01, 2023

Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?

its real-time threat intelligence integration, leveraging F5's Security Operations Center (SOC) and global threat intelligence network. This integration ensures that the firewall remains constantly updated with the latest threat trends, enabling it to proactively defend against emerging threats. Additionally, the Advanced WAF allows for extensive customization options, empowering organizations to tailor their security policies to the unique requirements of their applications.

What do you dislike about the product?

WAF is relatively high, positioning it as a more suitable option for larger enterprises rather than smaller organizations with budget constraints
Configuring and managing the Advanced WAF requires a certain level of expertise, which could result in inefficiencies or misconfigurations if not properly addressed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It enables organizations to customize security policies based on their specific application requirements. This flexibility allows for fine-tuning and optimizing security measures, reducing false positives and negatives while maintaining an optimal balance between security and application performance.

Best way to protect exposed applications

Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?

WAF configurations are very high level. I really feel safe in this sense. The microservice and DOS protection features are also great. The signature-based protection module is also very advanced.

What do you dislike about the product?

The interface could be better. f5 should now make the interface look better.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it behind this WAF in all applications we open. We do this with a good configuration with the BLocking mode turned on. There may be occasional false positive situations in the first week, but then it works incredibly regularly.

Industry leading solution for WAF

Reviewed on Nov 10, 2021

Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?

F5 Application Security Firewall is a robust solution. You can enable WAF on the F5 Load Balancer with one click with a license. F5 presents to the customers load balancer and WAF one same appliance. So while you can load balancing the application you don't need to send user requests to other products, F5 inspects the user request while load balancing. It offers comprehensive configuration for application security. It is learning the application then blocks the unwanted traffic.

What do you dislike about the product?

You have a piece of deep knowledge for configuring the F5 WAF. Configuration GUI is very complex, sometimes you can be lost while configuring. And the price is ver high.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

IPS on the firewalls is not enough to control user requests. We can check all clients request on F5 WAF. Clients unwanted requests stopped on WAF before they reached the application

Recommendations to others considering the product:

There are a few vendors at the market which offer detailed application security. F5 ASM is one of them. If you want to configure with detail and fight OWASP top 10 threats F5 ASM (or WAF) best fit your requests.

What do you like best about the product?

A single appliance has all the features which require a webserver service, WAF, Server load balancer, GSLB

For the advance reporting stuff, need to procure an additional system call BIG-IQ, which is not coming out of the box with BIG-IP.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have deployed many Advance WAF solutions. it is ready grate. Server load balancing and WAF requirements.

Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?

F5 ASM has been a great tool to manage and fine-tune the security aspect, thus completing the complete application delivery chain.

Application security has never been so efficient and easy to deploy/tune/operate/ with ASM module.

However, the real winner is the F5 team that consistently develops & ensures the module is up-to-date with recent ''fire"(s) of the world.

What do you dislike about the product?

More documentation should be available on the best practices and what industries focus on, especially policies, signatures, and capabilties.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Complete end to end security needs , monitoring & protection against vast array of web-based attacks.

Backtracking the application level changes triggering ASM alarms and mitigating them.

Mitigating security vulnerabilties is the big one.
