The WAF. The world's most beloved security tool after antiviruses and password complexity requirements. The speakers spent the last five years working on making them suck less and operating one at a global scale. By sharing war stories, mistakes and discoveries, we will provide the audience with tools and strategies to make their WAF experience more palatable. Whether you're a WAF operator, user or vendor, you will get actionable takeaways from our ordeal^W^W^W experience.
First, we will share our learnings on creating a generic set of rules with low noise. This will go from a better understanding of real world attacks to common false positive patterns. We will also cover strategies to catch issues in rules at scale and expand the coverage of new unknown attacks.
