Services and use cases

Security Evaluations Services

SCA helps you understand which attacks your security controls can currently prevent, identifies missing protections and detection gaps, and highlights broken mitigations and uncovered corner cases.

This evaluation ensures that when incident response is needed, you know exactly what arsenal you have, what additional defenses can be deployed, and which weaknesses must be avoided.

Measuring security is vital for the security value zone

Web Application Threats:

  • Common Attack Vectors (CAV)
  • Automated Traffic Threats (ATT)
  • Bots and Botnets
  • Attack Modus Operandi (AMO)

Security Control Assessment (SCA)

SCA - Products and Services

Risk Mitigation Score (RMS) determines your “Security Value Zone,” where negative values indicate poor security practices, while positive values reflect investments in effort, tools, and effective incident response.

Assessment of Enforcement Levels

Assessment measure the current “Enforcement” level, predicting how effectively you can prevent the next attack when incident response is triggered.

Assessment of Security Exposure

Assessment also measure “Security Exposure,” highlighting reductions in protection levels and identifying limitations critical to effective incident response.

WAF Assessment Types

Security Controls Assessment (SCA)

Purpose: Evaluate WAF’s ability to detect and mitigate known attack techniques.
Tests Include:

  • Signature effectiveness (XSS, SQLi, RCE, etc.)

  • Custom payload detection

  • Evasion technique handling

  • Entity-level protection (parameters, headers)

  • Policy tuning gaps
    Outcome: Risk Mitigation Score (RMS) for control coverage.

Bot Protection Assessment

Purpose: Evaluate how WAF handles automated threats.
Tests Include:

  • OWASP Automated Threats (carding, scraping, credential stuffing)

  • Bot client simulation (headless browsers, replay tools)

  • CAPTCHA and JS challenge handling
    Outcome: Bot defense score and bypass feasibility.

Policy Configuration Analysis

Purpose: Validate WAF policy logic and alignment to application behavior.
Tests Include:

  • Policy enforcement review

  • Positive security model checks

  • Custom rules review (regex, IP, Geo)
    Outcome: Policy quality score and hardening recommendations.

Custom Use Case Simulation

Purpose: Validate WAF in real-world incident scenarios.
Tests Include:

  • Simulated red team campaigns

  • Attack chain testing (multi-step exploit)

  • Application-specific threat modeling
    Outcome: Application-aware mitigation score.

WAF SCA

Web App – Common Attack Vector (WA-CAV )

Testing for common attack vectors detection is the minimum WAF requirements that should reflect your WAF security value  on any web application.

  • Web Exploits
  • App Brute Force
  • App DoS/DDoS

Web App – Automated Traffic Threats (ATT)

Bots activity are still a major concern to web application owners

  • Readers & Submitter
  • Tweaker & Diverter
  • Device & Client types
