Companies now understand that they cannot afford to be lax when it comes to cyber security, despite the growing need to ensure uninterrupted operations. Considering the COVID-19 impact, companies are focused on innovations for unexpected disruptions and also enhance their digital immunity, which increases the demand for wen application firewall solutions.

The emerging trend of artificial intelligence and machine learning cannot be ignored, as these help boost the efficiency of the web app firewall software. More and more companies are realizing this and are increasingly coming up with highly advanced products and services that cater to every demand of their end-users.

For instance, in June 2020, Fortinet launched a new version of its advanced FortiWeb Web Application Firewall software 6.0. This is the only software to utilize machine learning for detecting behavioral-based attacks and threats in web applications.
