Security devices such as firewalls, next generation firewalls (NGFW), IDS/IPS, and web application firewalls (WAF) must be properly provisioned, updated and patched to protect against internal and external threats.

Answer 2

The following are the external application-oriented devices that provide application security:

1. API Gateway - This is a management tool that acts between the backend resources and a client. It is a reverse proxy that accepts all API calls etc.
2. XML Firewall - It protects XML-based applications from a large number of XML messages. They are used as proxies in order to check the messages for problems before passing them on to a client.
