Find the perfect fit
Use Archways to compare Lumen Web Application Firewall with alternatives and find the best software for your needs.
Help protect your critical data from hacking, phishing, site scraping, cross-site scripting and parameter tampering, with CenturyLink Web Application Firewall services.
Lumen Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a solid choice for mid-sized to large organizations that need robust, managed protection for web applications without building in-house security expertise. Its strengths lie in comprehensive threat coverage—blocking everything from cross-site scripting to parameter tampering—and the benefit of being tightly integrated with Lumen's broader network and managed security services. However, it's not the most agile or developer-friendly solution for fast-moving startups, and the managed service model means less granular control and potentially slower response to custom rule changes. Pricing is in line with enterprise-grade managed security, so it's best suited for organizations that value hands-off protection and can justify the investment with their risk profile and compliance needs.

This information is provided by Archways for guidance purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, specific details may need to be confirmed with the vendor.
Implementation is straightforward for customers already on Lumen's network, but may require coordination for custom applications or hybrid environments; ongoing support is managed by Lumen, reducing internal burden but limiting direct control.
Best suited for IT and security teams with a focus on risk management and compliance, rather than hands-on DevOps or engineering-driven security; minimal in-house security expertise required, but a technical liaison is helpful for integration and policy tuning.
Designed to handle high-traffic, business-critical sites; scales well for mid-market and large enterprises, but may be overkill for low-traffic or non-sensitive web applications.
