Nowadays, thanks to globalisation, companies and their bussines are growing fast, making their main objectives to keep up with market demands to satisfy user needs. Since market demands are not static, high availability is a requirement that a company infastructure must meet. If any company wants to stay competitive in these circumstances, it must be able to change what it is doing to fill the needs and wants that customers have. Therefore, companies experience growth in its resources, services and data while still having to provide the efficiency and the quality of service of the offered services. This study aims to determine how companies should protect their services and how they could scale them by analysing, designing, implementing and testing a high availability web application firewall in order to avoid security threats and, as the company's systems grows, to continue meeting market demands efficiently and securely.
