<p>What does a Web Application Firewall (WAF) exactly do?</p>
<p>A WAF/firewall keeps a track of the HTTP traffic that comes to your website/web application. Basically, it monitors all the requests that are coming to your web application/website. If the WAF feels that the incoming requests are suspicious i.e. if the incoming request can harm your website (eg. the request may contain some code that can make some changes to your database or an unauthorized person/hacker would be able to gain access to your web application) WAF blocks those requests and prevents your website from unwanted attacks.
