I feel like I read that WAF helps with web app security, but I’m uncertain if it directly secures the database connection as required here.

This question feels similar to one we practiced about securing APIs. I wonder if just using WAF is enough for the database connection.

I think implementing Azure Application Gateway with WAF is a good step, but we might need additional measures for database security.

I remember we discussed the importance of using WAF for protecting web apps, but I'm not sure if it fully addresses the Zero Trust model.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know an open eye is a good sign, but I'm not sure if that means low noise or something else. I'll have to think this through carefully.
