Adaptive WAF policy: observation mode, threshold 25 and three protection modes

How it's configured

You decide how much the WAF decides

The adaptive WAF creates rules from the attacks your own website receives. It starts by observing: it records what it would block without blocking anything. When you trust what it proposes, you raise the autonomy.

Policy

Three modes and three levels of autonomy

The mode says what it does with traffic; autonomy, what it does with new rules. The threshold sets how many hits a rule needs before it starts blocking.

  • Off, observation or automatic
  • Recommends, applies with review or applies without review
  • Threshold adjustable per service
  1. Protection mode: here, in observation.
  2. Threshold: the hits a rule needs before blocking.
  3. Three modes: off, observation or automatic.
  4. Three levels of autonomy: only recommends, applies with review or applies without review.

Inheritance

One policy for the whole account, or one per service

The policy is defined at three levels: global, your account and each service. The most specific one wins, and whatever you don't define is inherited. That way you don't set up a hundred websites one by one.

  • Tabs for rules, trust lists, notifications, usage, applications and actions
  1. Where the policy comes from: global, from your account or from this service. The most specific wins.
  2. The Cloud's services and the policy each one applies.

What it does

An application firewall that adapts to your website

Generic rules either block too much or let too much through. SWPanel's adaptive WAF starts from ModSecurity and adjusts its rules to each service's real traffic, using what the SOC learns.

Solid foundation

ModSecurity engine integrated with the web server.

  • Protection against injections and XSS
  • Rules per service
  • Nothing to install

Adaptive

Rules adjust based on what the SOC sees in your traffic.

  • Fewer false positives
  • New rules for new attacks
  • Centralized orchestration

Under control

You see each rule, why it's there and until when.

  • Enable and disable rules
  • End date on automatic ones
  • Undo with one click

In practice

From the attack to the applied rule

  1. Detects

    The server agent flags anomalous requests against a specific path.

  2. Interprets

    The SOC groups the pattern, cross-checks it with IP reputation and turns it into a finding.

  3. Proposes

    The WAF prepares the right rule and the consultant explains why.

  4. Applies

    It's applied with an end date and can be undone. Everything is recorded in traceability.
