How to Use F5 WAF with Appdome MobileBOT™ Defense
Combining the F5 Web Application Firewall (WAF) with Appdome’s MobileBOT™ Defense creates a powerful dual-layered security solution to protect both the server and client sides of your applications. This introduction outlines how the technologies work together and directs you to further resources for detailed setup and configuration.
F5 WAF secures web applications at the server level. Complementing this, Appdome’s MobileBOT™ Defense protects mobile applications from specific threats by verifying rate-limit connections, implementing mTLS Pre-Authentication, managing Session Headers, Pin to Host, and more.
This dual-layer protection strategy effectively secures both entry points—server and client—against sophisticated cyber threats.
