The security of website application has become important in the last decades.According to the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), the SQL Injection is classified as one of the major vulnerabilities found in web application security.This research is focused on improving website security in dealing with SQL Injection attacks by stopping, monitoring, and dividing types of SQL Injection attacks using the features provided by the proposed Web Application Firewall (WAF).The architecture is designed to detect and prevent some types of SQL Injection attacks, including Tautologies, Logically Incorrect Queries, Union Queries, Piggy Backed Queries, Stored Procedures.For the testing scenario, this experiment uses an application that has become an industry standard in identifying and validating security holes on a website.The result of this research is that the proposed system is able to increase the website security from SQL Injection.
