Connect to the Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) for Application Gateway, Front Door, or CDN. This WAF protects your applications from common web vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, and lets you customize rules to reduce false positives. Follow these instructions to stream your Microsoft Web application firewall logs into Microsoft Sentinel. For more information, see the [Microsoft Sentinel documentation](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2223546&wt.mc_id=sentinel_dataconnectordocs_content_cnl_csasci).
