Director, Co-Founder & CEO at HEDEHI Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

Our use case for Symantec Web Application Firewall is primarily for security purposes as we develop web application solutions for our customers. We have a business where we provide solutions for creating web applications, and we use this firewall to secure access, especially if we have to set it up in their own environment. We set up this firewall first, then do all the onboarding and deployment processes. We are using it primarily as a firewall for security purposes.
