Description: The Web Application Firewall (WAF) Rule is a set of specific guidelines implemented in a WAF to manage network traffic to web applications. These rules allow or block traffic based on predefined criteria, such as the source IP address, content type, behavior patterns, and other relevant parameters. Its primary goal is to protect web applications from common threats, such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, and other types of vulnerabilities that can compromise data security and system integrity. The rules can be customized to fit the specific needs of web applications, allowing for a more robust and effective defense. Additionally, the implementation of these rules is crucial in the context of a Security Operations Center (SOC), where traffic is monitored and analyzed in real-time to detect and respond to security incidents. In the realm of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), WAF rules can be integrated to provide a comprehensive view of threats and assist in informed decision-making. Furthermore, in DDoS Protection, these rules can be used to identify and mitigate denial-of-service attacks, ensuring that web applications remain operational and accessible to legitimate users.
