Security Headers and WAF Configuration Against SQL Injection

Security Headers and WAF Configuration Against SQL Injection

While parameterized queries and input validation form the primary defense against SQL injection, security headers and Web Application Firewalls (WAF) provide crucial additional layers of protection. These technologies act as security gatekeepers, detecting and blocking malicious requests before they reach vulnerable application code. Think of them as security guards who screen visitors before they enter your building—they won't replace strong locks on your doors, but they significantly reduce the risk of intrusion.
