An HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) firewall is a type of firewall that specifically monitors and filters incoming and outgoing web traffic. It can prevent unauthorized access and protect against various types of web-based attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and command injection.
HTTP firewalls can also be used to enforce security policies and restrict access to certain websites or web applications. They can be implemented as standalone software or as a feature within a network firewall.
