WAFScan Use Cases

Build Adaptive WAF Protection

Web App Firewall (WAF)

AI-driven attacks put pressure on your WAF policy to adapt quickly to new threats.

WAFScan shows how your current policy protects your applications against attacks and helps you identify what to improve.

Shields UP !

Security Visibility

Know Your Active Protection

Understand which protections are enabled, what they detect, and what they block. Know your mitigation arsenal and how it maps to attacks against your applications.

Optimize Policy Management

Focus on relevant protections and reduce time spent investigating unknown coverage. Know which controls to enable, tune, or validate—and which signature updates are relevant to your application.

Prepare for the Next Vulnerability

Use tested attack coverage to estimate what your current policy may detect or block when a new vulnerability appears. Identify where additional testing or mitigation is needed.

Validate Protection Against New CVEs

Test relevant signatures and mitigation controls as new CVEs emerge. Confirm whether your deployed policy detects or blocks the tested exploit attempts.

WAF Security Assessment

Clear, Actionable Results

Understand your current protection through a clear, easy-to-read report that connects findings to attack coverage and practical improvements.

Better Use of Your Existing Controls

Identify relevant capabilities that are missing, disabled, or underused. Know what to enable or tune to improve protection.

Detection Optimization

Identify opportunities to improve detection, address bypasses, and increase visibility into suspicious activity.

Current Risk Mitigation Score (RMS)

Use a score based on the tested scope to understand your current mitigation level and track improvements after policy changes.

Simulation and Learning

Use assessment findings to guide attack simulations and practical learning. Help your team practice selecting, activating, and validating the appropriate mitigations.

 

 

 

 

Apply Improvements and Measure Results

Strengthen Defense in Depth

Map compensating detection and prevention measures to the attack vectors where your current protection falls short.

Apply Positive Security

Define allowed inputs and behavior at sensitive application entry points to reduce opportunities for exploitation.

Improve SIEM Visibility

Detections can provide value even when they are not configured to block. Use relevant controls in log mode to feed your SIEM and support investigation and response.

Verify Policy Changes

Retest after changes to confirm that coverage improves and check that legitimate application traffic still works as expected.

Value for Security Leaders and Engineers

For CISOs

Make better use of existing security investments. Understand current mitigation coverage, prioritize improvements, and track their contribution to reducing attack risk.

For WAF Security Engineers

Make the results of your policy work visible. Know which detections and protections address which attacks, what to enable or tune, and how to verify improvements.

Build a clear picture of what you have today—and what to add when a new threat arrives.
