Best Practices for Web Application Firewall Management

July 5, 2018

While many organizations deploy a web application firewall (WAF) to meet a compliance requirement, for most, the top reason to deploy a WAF is to protect web servers and applications from being exploited via an application vulnerability. Most applications have vulnerabilities. In a recent study, the Trustwave SpiderLabs team identified at least one vulnerability in 100% of the applications they investigated. Most had more than one. You might ask “why not fix the vulnerabilities and skip the WAF?” While there’s a trend to incorporate secure development early in the application development process, the level of security expertise within development teams varies widely. Development practices can introduce vulnerabilities as well. Vulnerabilities can slip through in new applications as developers are pushed to deliver applications faster than ever.

Another misconception is that high-profile research projects can be applied directly to any business situation. AI done right can create extreme return on investments (ROIs)—for instance through automation or precise prediction. But it does take thought, time and proper implementation. We have seen that success and value generated by AI projects is increased when there is a grounded understanding and expectation of what the technology can deliver from the C-suite down.
