Maximize Your WAF’s Protection

WAFs and bot managers are critical security controls for protecting your web applications.

WAFScan assesses your deployed policy and protection controls to show what your current mitigation arsenal detects and blocks, where coverage falls short, and which mitigation strategies can strengthen protection.

Assessment Services

Protection Visibility Assessment

See what your WAF detects and blocks.

Test signature coverage against web exploits, including attack variations and evasion attempts across relevant parameters, headers, cookies, and request bodies.

Understand your current coverage, identify missed detections, and focus signature tuning on threats relevant to your applications.

WAF Policy Resilience Assessment

Understand protection beyond signatures.

Assess how your deployed policy handles malformed requests, policy limits, evasion attempts, brute-force activity, and application-layer DoS/DDoS scenarios within the agreed scope.

Identify which protections are effective, where coverage falls short, and what to enable or tune.

Bot Mitigation Assessment

Find out which bot protections are active and effective.

Test whether your deployed controls detect, challenge, rate-limit, or block selected automated activities, including scraping and abusive bot traffic.

Understand which mitigations are present, what they respond to, and where additional protection is needed.

New CVE Protection Testing

Find out whether your current policy blocks a relevant new exploit.

When a relevant CVE emerges and suitable exploit requests are available, test how your WAF handles those requests.

See whether the tested attempts are detected or blocked and identify where policy changes or additional mitigations are needed.

Get More Value from Your Security Controls

Understand how your deployed WAF and bot protections contribute to attack mitigation.

Use the findings to prioritize relevant improvements, make better use of existing capabilities, and show the value of your security investment.

Assessment Results

  • Current detection and blocking coverage within the tested scope.
  • Missing, ineffective, or underused protections.
  • Relevant policy tuning and mitigation recommendations.
  • Opportunities to improve SIEM visibility through detections in log mode.
  • Retesting to measure improvements after policy changes.

 

Attack Simulation and Response Readiness

Use WAFScan assessments as attack simulations to help your team recognize attack activity in WAF logs and understand how the controls respond. Locate relevant events in your logging platform or SIEM, identify visibility gaps, and learn which mitigation actions to take.

Get your WAF ready for the next automated attack!

WAF testing improves your overall security:

Focusing on fast mitigation for known attacks with vital few policy

Refining WAF policy to reduce the overhead of policy management.

Customizing the policy to the needs and security effort you can sustain.
