Atomicorp WAF is an enterprise web application firewall (WAF) and web application and API protection (WAAP) software appliance designed to secure websites, APIs, servers, cloud workloads, and OT/IoT systems. The system performs Layer 7 traffic inspection and filtering using a zero-trust architecture that combines positive and negative security models. Its core protection mechanisms utilize a commercial ModSecurity-based rules engine, machine learning, virtual patching, and real-time threat intelligence to mitigate application-layer threats. It is engineered to defend against the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, Layer 7 denial of service (DoS) attacks, zero-day exploits, malicious bots, brute force attempts, and internal lateral movement.
The solution is deployable in physical, virtual, cloud, and containerized environments, with support for embedded and transparent proxy modes to protect both modern and legacy applications. Management occurs through a centralized console with a graphical user interface for security analysis, rule editing, and compliance reporting. This console supports role-based access control (RBAC) and integrates with single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) systems. The platform also provides high-availability clustering, FIPS 140-2/3 cryptographic support, data loss prevention (DLP), geoblocking, and detailed audit logging capabilities.
