Schema-based API protection, rate limiting, and authentication enforcement.
Advanced bot detection and mitigation to block malicious automated traffic.
Layer 7 DDoS protection to maintain application availability under attack.
Continuous WAF rule tuning to minimize false positives and maintain coverage.
Expert response to application-layer attacks with investigation and mitigation.
Reduces application attack surface
Protects customer data from breaches
Improves application availability and uptime
Enables secure digital services and APIs
Managed WAF supports UAE TDRA and UAE Cyber Security Council web application security requirements for organisations in Dubai and across the UAE.
In KSA, Managed WAF aligns with NCA ECC 1-1:2018 web application protection controls and SAMA Cyber Security Framework application security requirements.
For Egyptian organisations, Managed WAF meets EG-CERT guidelines and NTRA application security requirements for the banking and telecom sectors.
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects your web applications and APIs from OWASP Top 10 threats — SQL injection, XSS, RFI, CSRF, path traversal, bot attacks, and DDoS at the application layer. PurpleGuard manages WAF rules, monitors traffic, responds to attack spikes, and tunes the WAF continuously to match your specific application behaviour.
Yes. PurpleGuard's Managed WAF includes API security — protecting REST and GraphQL APIs from injection attacks, broken authentication, data exposure, and rate-limiting bypass. API protection policies are tuned to your specific API schema to minimise false positives.
PCI DSS requires a WAF or equivalent control for all internet-facing web applications that process card data. NCA ECC includes web application protection controls. PurpleGuard's Managed WAF provides the control implementation plus monthly compliance reports mapping WAF activity to applicable requirements.
A poorly tuned WAF can create false positives. PurpleGuard's Managed WAF service includes a learning/tuning period where we baseline your normal traffic patterns before switching to enforcement mode. Continuous tuning ensures high detection rates with minimal impact on legitimate users and application performance.
