## Introduction

Security perimeters have become less defined compared to the traditional Castle and Moat deployment that were popular in the past. Within a fixed perimeter, it was relatively easier to secure multiple applications using a single Web Application Firewall (WAF) deployment inside a datacenter. Today this approach does not provide enough flexibility, as applications and services expand beyond the traditional datacenter. There are several good reasons to configure networks and services in a hybrid approach, as well as adopting SaaS platforms, so it is valuable to update the WAF approach to cover this scenario.
Security perimeters have become less defined compared to the traditional "Castle and Moat" deployment that were popular in the past. Within a fixed perimeter, it was relatively easier to secure multiple applications using a single Web Application Firewall (WAF) deployment inside a datacenter. Today this approach does not provide enough flexibility, as applications and services expand beyond the traditional datacenter. There are several good reasons to configure networks and services in a hybrid approach, as well as adopting SaaS platforms, so it is valuable to update the WAF approach to cover this scenario.

In this sense, Cloud-based WAF solutions can control the perimeter sprawl, with a flexible deployment model that covers applications and services deployed on-premises, on cloud based IaaS and PaaS environments, and also in hybrid environments.
