Broadcom Edge Secure Web Gateway vs. Azure Application Gateway

Web Application Firewall is a web based app that protect website from the malicious attacks, including OWASP Top 10 protection around code injection, HTML injection, directory traversal, command injection, JSON validation, SQL injection and cross-site scripting. In addition, signature-based engines can be used for blocking known attack patterns.

Azure Application Gateway is a web traffic load balancer that enables you to manage traffic to your web applications. Unlike traditional load balancers that operate at the transport layer (Layer 4), Application Gateway operates at the application layer (Layer 7), allowing it to make routing decisions based on attributes such as URL paths and host headers. This capability provides more control over how traffic is distributed to your applications, enhancing both performance and security.
