A Web Application Firewall (WAF) primarily protects against:

Open network access
Software component vulnerabilities
Common web attacks like cross-site scripting and SQL injection
Malware and viruses

The correct answer is: Common web attacks like cross-site scripting and SQL injection

Web Application Firewall (WAF) primarily protects against common web attacks like cross-site scripting and SQL injection. These types of attacks target vulnerabilities in web applications, which can result in the theft of sensitive data or damage to the system. Option A is incorrect because open network access is typically protected by a network firewall, not a web application firewall. Option B is incorrect because while WAFs can offer some protection against software component vulnerabilities, they are not their main purpose. Option D is also incorrect because while some WAFs can offer protection against malware and viruses, it is not their primary function.
