Citrix customers leveraged the power of the Citrix ADC platform from the AWS Marketplace for years. Now, we’re excited to announce that we are also listing the industry-leading Citrix Web App Firewall (WAF) on the AWS Marketplace.
Citrix WAF is an enterprise-grade WAF solution that mitigates threats against customers’ public-facing and internal web assets, including websites, applications, and APIs. With comprehensive security from network layer 3 to layer 7, Citrix WAF includes protections such as IP reputation, bot mitigation, defense against the OWASP Top 10 application threats, built-in signatures to protect against application stack vulnerabilities, and more.
While the additional AWS Marketplace listing is new, Citrix WAF has been available in AWS as part of the ADC platform. We’ve seen customers use Citrix WAF in AWS to provide protection for everything from disaster recovery and data center migration to new points of presence for their applications and full and partial cloud migration. Customers use Citrix WAF in AWS to protect their mission-critical websites, apps, and APIs. They’ve benefited by leveraging the same product and code base they already know and love in their on-prem environments, which simplifies digital transformations, cloud migration, and hybrid multi-cloud architectures.
Why Citrix WAF?
- Comprehensive app security: Citrix WAF is a single code base (Citrix ADC) across cloud, physical, virtual, bare-metal, and containers that brings consistency to your hybrid multi-cloud applications and workflows. Holistic application security from Layer 3 to Layer 7 and built-in API protection ensures you don’t have to worry about being vulnerable.
- Secure your websites, apps, and APIs: Securing applications is more than just using basic WAF functionality. Citrix WAF provides immediate basic protection against injection attacks and known application exploits and also delivers advanced protection with bot mitigation, API gateway, and dynamic profiling. This enables automated learning and adaptation to your application’s behavior.
- Robust reporting and analytics: Citrix Application Delivery Management is the only tool that provides reporting and analytics on the performance and health of the network, application, and Citrix devices. This includes items such as WAF incidents, bot incidents, application latency, application performance, and more. No other solution provides the same depth of reporting and analytics, offering you unparalleled insights into security, performance, and infrastructure state.
