FAQ
Does WAF replace secure coding? No. WAF is a defense layer, not a code fix. Best practice: secure coding + WAF + pentests. WAF offers “virtual patching” when code can’t be quickly fixed.
Does nFlo deploy Barracuda WAF? Yes. We design WAF architecture, deploy and tune rules. We also offer managed WAF services with 24/7 SOC.
