Services and use cases

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.

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.

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.
