Raising the Bar for Web Application and API Security
Cloud native applications continue to grow and are being packaged using containers, serverless functions and microservices on a variety of technology stacks. Rather than leveling out over time, these complex architectures are only going to become more prevalent. Securing the web applications and APIs that underpin these complex architectures has traditionally been a challenge for application security and DevOps teams. The web applications and APIs are continually changing, and existing web security solutions lack needed coverage.
In response, Palo Alto Networks offers best-in-class Web Application and API Security (WAAS) as part of the Prisma Cloud platform. In this paper, we offer a quantitative analysis of the module and compare it to other solutions in the industry. In doing so, we demonstrate Prisma Cloud’s WAAS superior accuracy.
