As web applications become central to digital business operations, they are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyberattacks. Threats such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), API abuse, bot traffic, and Layer-7 DDoS attacks pose serious risks to application availability, data integrity, and customer trust.
A SAS (Security-as-a-Service) Web Application Firewall (WAF) delivers advanced, cloud-native application security while eliminating infrastructure complexity and capital investment.
A SAS Web Application Firewall is a fully managed, cloud-based Layer-7 security solution that inspects, analyzes, and filters HTTP/HTTPS traffic in real time. It sits in front of web applications and APIs, blocking malicious requests before they reach the origin servers.
The platform continuously updates security rules and threat intelligence, ensuring protection against both known and emerging attack vectors.
The SAS WAF is delivered on a Zero CAPEX model, meaning:
The service runs entirely on an OPEX-based subscription model, allowing customers and service providers to pay only for what they use.
The SAS WAF is delivered on a Zero CAPEX model, meaning:
This approach makes enterprise-grade web security accessible to organizations of all sizes.
The SAS Web Application Firewall presents a strong new revenue opportunity for mid-range Internet Service Providers (ISPs) looking to expand beyond connectivity services.
With a Zero CAPEX model, any mid-range ISP can start this business immediately and offer WAF as a value-added, recurring service.
ISPs can:
From a technical and operational perspective, ISP-delivered SAS WAF offers:
By leveraging a managed SAS platform, ISPs can focus on customer acquisition and service growth rather than day-to-day security operations.
Businesses increasingly prefer WAF services delivered by their ISP because of:
This creates a mutually beneficial ecosystem where customers gain strong application security, and ISPs unlock sustainable new revenue streams.
A SAS Web Application Firewall is a future-ready security solution that combines Zero CAPEX, an OPEX-only subscription model, and advanced application-layer protection. For mid-range ISPs, it represents a low-risk, high-value opportunity to enter the cybersecurity services market and build long-term recurring revenue.
By offering scalable, cloud-native WAF services, ISPs can strengthen customer trust, enhance service portfolios, and remain competitive in an increasingly security-driven digital economy.
