Block Attacks Before They Reach Your Application
We design, deploy, and continuously tune WAF rules that stop OWASP Top 10 attacks, DDoS attempts, and zero-day exploits — without the false positives that disrupt your real users.
Overview
What Is
WAF Setup & Tuning?
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) sits between your users and your application, inspecting every HTTP/S request and blocking malicious traffic before it reaches your code. But a poorly configured WAF is worse than no WAF — it either blocks legitimate users (causing revenue loss) or allows attacks through with overly permissive rules. CybrDoc's WAF service covers the full lifecycle: selecting the right WAF solution for your stack, initial deployment, OWASP rule configuration, application-specific custom rules, false-positive analysis, and ongoing monthly tuning as your application evolves.
What's Included
Everything You Get
OWASP Top 10 Protection
Pre-built and custom rules blocking SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, LFI/RFI, command injection, and all other OWASP Top 10 attack categories.
DDoS Mitigation Rules
Rate limiting, bot detection, and traffic shaping rules to absorb and mitigate application-layer (Layer 7) DDoS attacks.
Custom Application Rules
Rules tuned to your specific application logic — blocking attacks that generic WAFs miss because they do not understand your business logic.
False-Positive Analysis
Systematic review of WAF logs to identify and tune out false positives that block legitimate traffic — critical for e-commerce and SaaS platforms.
Real-Time Monitoring
WAF log integration with your SIEM or a managed dashboard showing attack patterns, blocked requests, and emerging threat trends.
Ongoing Rule Maintenance
Monthly tuning cycles to update rules as your application changes and as new attack techniques emerge in the wild.
Our Approach
How It Works
Application Profiling
Map your application's URL structure, input fields, authentication flows, and APIs to build a baseline of normal traffic.
WAF Deployment
Deploy WAF in detection mode first, capturing traffic patterns without blocking, to establish a false-positive baseline.
Rule Configuration & Tuning
Enable blocking mode with OWASP rules, add custom application-specific rules, and tune out confirmed false positives.
Ongoing Management
Monthly review of new attack patterns, rule updates, and application change impact assessments to keep protection current.
Why It Matters
Business Benefits
Stop Attacks Before They Hit Your Code
WAFs block thousands of attack attempts every day that would otherwise reach your application and require patching under pressure.
Buy Time to Patch
Virtual patching — blocking exploitation of a known vulnerability via WAF rules — gives you time to deploy a proper code fix without emergency downtime.
Zero Impact on User Experience
Properly tuned WAFs do not slow your application or generate support tickets from blocked legitimate users — we ensure the balance is right.
Compliance Requirement Satisfied
PCI DSS Requirement 6.4 mandates a WAF for all public-facing web applications. Our deployment satisfies this requirement with documented evidence.
