Despite increasing security challenges, Citrix Web App Firewall delivers comprehensive protection without degrading throughput or application response times. Available as a standalone appliance or integrated within the Citrix ADC platform, Citrix Web App Firewall is rated as the price/performance WAF leader by NSS Labs.

Citrix offers the most advanced platform for ensuring the security, availability, and usability of your business-critical web applications. Citrix Web App Firewall, integrated with the Citrix ADC platform, enables enterprises to achieve—and exceed—compliance with PCI DSS. Citrix Web App Firewall, the industry’s highest-performing web application security solution, scored an overall block rate of 99.8% when tested by NSS Labs.

AppFirewall provides extensive protection against all known attacks and zero-day application-layer attacks. It’s also future-proof, which means it’s ready to tackle any new threats or PCI DSS updates to maintain compliance, even as new security risks evolve.

Easy-to-use management tools analyze bidirectional traffic, provide end-to-end encryption and TLS support, generate comprehensive compliance reports, and simplify admin tasks through a single point of access. Citrix Web App Firewall has dynamic, context-sensitive capabilities to prevent XSS attacks.

The platform looks for anything that looks like an HTML tag and checks against allowed HTML attributes and tags to detect XSS attacks. Custom XSS patterns can be stored to modify this default list of tags and attributes. Both HTML and XML payloads are inspected. Field format protection and form field consistency is included.
