FortiWeb Cloud
™
Cloud-based Web Application Firewall as a Service
FortiWeb Cloud is a cloud-based web application
firewall (WAF) that protects hosted web applications
from attacks thattarget exploits. When deployed in
front of applications, FortiWeb Cloud uses multiple
protection techniques to quickly and accurately
mitigate threats while allowing normal traffic
toproceed.
Highlights
§ 100% Cloud-based WAF as a Service

§ Flexible and rapid deployment
§ Advanced analytics and reporting
§ Fine tuning for exceptions
§ Secured by FortiGuard Labs
A Streamlined WAF that’s Easy to Deploy
andManage
Sometimes a dedicated WAF is too much, requires too much time
to manage, or isn’t suited to a particular application. Although a
traditional web application firewall offers comprehensive protection
from known and zero-day threats, it can take time to deploy it into
a network. It also may take additional time to fine tune it to ensure
that normal traffic flows smoothly and isn’t flagged as a false
positivethreat.
You may need to quickly protect an application until it’s rolled under
a WAF in the production environment. Perhaps you have smaller
short-lived applications that will take too long to configure in an
existing WAF. You may have not have a WAF, but need to protect
a web-based application without resorting to a complex hardware
installation in your network. In the case of web applications that
are hosted in the cloud, you may not want to set up a WAF in an
unfamiliar environment.
A hosted, cloud-based WAF like FortiWeb Cloud can easily
accommodate any web-based application for any length of time you
need and can even be a safe, permanent solution depending on the
needs of your organization. You choose how many sites you want
to protect and the traffic bandwidth you need to create a custom
service that can grow with your organization.
