While threats are growing more sophisticated, most WAF products aren't.
Organizations need a web application firewall (WAF) to protect against application attacks such as SQLi, XSS, CSRF, and more — especially since the average worldwide cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million in 2024.
However, many WAF products struggle to achieve accurate true positive and false positive detection rates. They're often slow and inefficient. They're also hard to manage, requiring users to write and maintain complex rules. Such WAFs consume more resources, raise operational costs, and impact user experiences.
No-compromise threat protection
HAProxy Enterprise WAF, powered by the Intelligent WAF Engine, provides exceptional accuracy out-of-the-box – with ultra-low latency.
Advanced threat detection powered by threat intelligence, enhanced by machine learning, virtually eliminates false negatives and false positives with almost zero performance impact on legitimate traffic.
Implement an optional patent-pending OWASP CRS compatibility mode with drastically lower latency and false positive rate.
Last in line, first in performance
Our data science team uses threat intelligence data to train our security models, resulting in extremely accurate and efficient threat detection algorithms — without relying on static lists and regex-based attack signatures.

What are users saying about HAProxy Enterprise WAF?
"The next-generation HAProxy Enterprise WAF protects our public APIs and user portal and makes a valuable improvement to our overall application security posture.
Other on-premises solutions didn't scale well with our global scope and huge API traffic load, but the new HAProxy Enterprise WAF with the Intelligent WAF Engine keeps latency and resource use low, while having a very low false positive rate and thus negligible negative impact on our clients."
"I have more control with the HAProxy Enterprise WAF than I would with a standard open source WAF. It’s awesome and a big factor in why we chose HAProxy Enterprise."
