Technical writing on enterprise cloud WAF architecture — OWASP CRS protection on the Coraza engine, API-first policy control, event-driven config rollout, multi-tenant isolation, and the security boundary that keeps private keys out of the WAF.
From the team
Web application firewall articles for platform and security teams
We write for engineers who run protection in production: how a cloud WAF enforces policy before traffic reaches your origin, how to tune OWASP CRS from detection to blocking, and how ArxLayer keeps WAF enforcement, certificate lifecycle, and key custody as separate boundaries. Start with the WAF fundamentals, or go deeper on architecture and the security model.

Multi-tenant WAF architecture
Multi-tenancy is an architecture decision, not a feature flag. Here is how tenant isolation, policy versioning, and event-driven config fit together.

OWASP CRS for enterprise WAF
OWASP CRS gives you a transparent, community-vetted detection baseline. Used well, it is how enterprises tune from detect to block with confidence.

Protecting AI-agent endpoints
Agentic workflows generate machine-to-machine traffic at scale. Protecting those endpoints needs identity-aware enforcement, not just rate limits.

Why a WAF should not own private keys
Putting private keys in the WAF layer concentrates risk in the wrong place. Separation of duties is a stronger, simpler design.

WAF for SaaS custom domains
Custom domains are a SaaS growth lever and an attack surface. Here is how to protect them without the WAF ever holding a private key.

API-first WAF architecture
When every WAF policy is an API object with immutable versions, security becomes reviewable, automatable, and safe to roll back.

What is a cloud WAF?
A cloud WAF inspects and filters HTTP traffic before it reaches your origin. Here is what that means in practice, and where OWASP CRS fits in.
