Do I need to apply WAF policy to LAN users?

[DeepKuma2]

Hi,

I have a simple question. This topic is making me confuse. Is the WAF working as ATP?  Do I need to apply WAF policy to LAN users policy (LAN to WAN)?

Hi Deepack,
Fortiweb protects request/respose flows to/from configured pools of servers.
You can configure pools on LAN and/or WAN side.

Hi,

My question was for the LAN users not for the Server. Is it work as ATP? or It is helpful only for server.

Hi Deepak,
LAN users requests&responses will be protected as soon as they match HTTP(s) Server Pool.
Ping me if you do have a specific use case.

Hi,

WAF usually is meant to protect your webservers. I don't find it useful to use it on your LAN users if this is thr traffic going out of the company. Apply deep isnpection, AV, IPS, Webfilter,Appcontrol and you will be protect.

If you need ATP, integrate with Sandbox.
