Web-Application and API Security (WAAS) provides protection for which two protocols? (Choose two.)

AHTTP

BSSH

CTomcat Web Connector via AJP

DTLS

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, D

Web-Application and API Security (WAAS) is a feature within Prisma Cloud that focuses on protecting web applications and APIs from various threats and vulnerabilities. The primary protocols it provides protection for are HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and TLS (Transport Layer Security). HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web, and TLS is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network. While SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services, and Tomcat Web Connector via AJP (Apache JServ Protocol) is used for Tomcat server communication, they are not the primary focus of WAAS protection.

AJP is not really a common choice for WAAS.

Surprised to see TLS mentioned, thought it was more about transport security.

I’m pretty sure HTTP is one of the answers, but I’m torn between TLS and SSH for the second one.

I feel like I saw a practice question about this, and it mentioned HTTP and maybe AJP? Not completely confident though.

I remember studying that WAAS protects HTTP and possibly TLS, but I could be mixing it up with something else.

I've got a good feeling about this. HTTP and TLS seem like the most likely answers based on what I know about WAAS.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll have to review my notes on WAAS to see what protocols it covers.

Okay, let's see. I know WAAS is for web application and API security, so it's probably related to common web protocols like HTTP and TLS.
