Cisco FTD WAF

Hello Cisco community.

Currently we use MSAzure WAF to protect our on-prem web application server from bots and other web app protection. Simple question...does Cisco FTD have similar WAF functionality and if so, is there any setup/configuration documentation on how to do it?

I did a search on Cisco site and not having any luck on a direct answer. All vague documentation.

Thanks community for the help.

I think it better to check

It does not have a WAF.

It can optionally decrypt web traffic and subject it to IPS inspection; but that is not the same thing as a purpose-built WAF.

Cisco has an agreement with RadWare for WAF functionality. https://www.cisco.com/site/us/en/products/security/technical-alliance-partners/radware.html
