Announcing Azure
Web
Application Firewall (WAF) support for Azure
Application
Gateway for Containers is now generally available. Application Gateway for Containers is the
next evolution of Application Gateway + Application Gateway Ingress Controller.
With the addition of Azure WAF support, Application Gateway for Containers
workloads can now protect workloads from web-based attacks like SQL injections,
cross-site scripting, protocol anomalies, and more.
When using WAF to protect your
Application Gateway for Containers resources you get access to the
Azure-managed Default
Rulesets (DRS),
providing protection not only from threats identified by the Open Web
Application Security Project (OWASP), but also additional protections provided
by Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC). Application Gateway for
Containers WAF users also have access to bot protection via bot
manager rulesets and
protection against DDoS attacks using rate
limiting custom rules.
