The Complexity of WAF Rule Management

Rule Selection Complexity

WAFs have always been challenging to configure because of the vast number of potential security rules and policies available. While modern WAFs offer extensive rule libraries, choosing the right combination of rules for your specific application remains complex due to the diverse nature of applications, varying security requirements, and the constant evolution of threat landscapes.

Too Many Rule Dependencies

Once selected, managing rule interactions becomes increasingly difficult. Poorly coordinated rules can conflict with each other, creating security gaps or causing unnecessary blocks. Legacy WAF policies often have intricate dependencies between rules, leading to brittle and convoluted configurations that are difficult to understand and even harder to modify without breaking existing protections.

Inadequate Rule Testing

WAF rule testing is often manual and incomplete. Traditional approaches to rule testing focus solely on security effectiveness, neglecting critical aspects like performance impact and resource utilization. This limited testing scope can result in rules that work from a security perspective but introduce unacceptable latency or resource overhead in production environments.
