WAF
Deploy and tune Web Application Firewalls.
A WAF is valuable when tuned to the real application profile. Default deployments with high false positives or ineffective detection-only modes create a false sense of security.
Hoxy tunes rules around sensitive paths, common OWASP attack patterns, and your traffic behavior, documenting necessary exceptions.
Integration with centralized logging and alerts for unusual blocks helps SOC separate abuse from noise.
Once stable we recommend enforcement mode and a periodic rule-review process.
Highlights
- Application-profile-based tuning
- Reduced operational false positives
- Coverage of sensitive paths and APIs
- Alert wiring into the SOC
Outcomes
- Effective edge defense for web apps
- Fewer exploits of known web flaws
- Better visibility into attack attempts
