How It Works

Application Recognition & Discovery

We perform a comprehensive recognition process for each web application or API that needs protection. This includes discovering all endpoints, understanding the application architecture, and identifying the technologies and frameworks used.

Endpoint & Parameter Analysis

We analyze all endpoints, their parameters, parameter types (string, integer, JSON, file upload, etc.), expected formats, validation rules, and business logic to understand the application's behavior and security requirements.

Custom Profile Design

Based on the recognition and analysis, we design a custom WAF profile that matches your application's specific requirements. The profile includes optimized rules, policies, and configurations that provide maximum protection while minimizing false positives and false negatives.

Testing & Optimization

We test the designed profile against your application traffic and attack scenarios to validate effectiveness, measure false positive and false negative rates, and optimize the profile for optimal security and performance.

Documentation & Deployment

We provide comprehensive documentation of the designed profile, deployment guide, configuration instructions, and ongoing maintenance recommendations to ensure successful implementation and long-term effectiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WAF Profile Design?

WAF Profile Design is a service where we perform a comprehensive recognition process for each web application or API that needs protection. We analyze endpoints, parameters, and their types to design a custom WAF profile that matches your security requirements with minimum false positives and false negatives.

How does the recognition process work?

Our recognition process involves discovering all endpoints in your application or API, analyzing each endpoint's parameters, understanding parameter types (string, integer, JSON, file upload, etc.), validation rules, and business logic. This comprehensive analysis allows us to design a profile that understands your application's unique characteristics.

Why is minimizing false positives and false negatives important?

False positives (blocking legitimate traffic) disrupt business operations and user experience. False negatives (missing actual attacks) leave your application vulnerable. Our profile design process is specifically optimized to minimize both, ensuring maximum protection with minimal disruption to legitimate traffic.

How long does WAF profile design take?

The timeline depends on the complexity of your application, number of endpoints, and API complexity. Typically, a complete WAF profile design takes 2-4 weeks, including recognition, analysis, design, testing, and documentation.

What WAF vendors do you support for profile design?

We support all major WAF vendors including Cloudflare, AWS WAF, Azure WAF, F5, Imperva, Akamai, and other leading solutions. Our recognition and design methodology is vendor-agnostic and can be adapted to any WAF platform.
