WAF - Cloud

A WAF Cloud service is one which the HTTP/S traffic is sent to the providers service, where it is inspected using a rule base to analyse the traffic, filtering out potentially harmful traffic, before forwarding this to the intended web application. The WAF cloud service will require the ability to decrypt, analyse and re-encrypt the traffic before sending the packets onto the destination. Most of the 'big players' in the WAF provider space offer a WAF cloud service offering alongside their appliances.
