This study focuses on the strategic implementation and optimization of a Web Application Firewall (WAF), which is essential for strengthening web application security. The process includes an in-depth analysis of vulnerabilities and requirements, the installation and configuration of the WAF with minimal operational impact, the adoption of specific development methods and processes, testing phases, and targeted rule optimization to maximize protective effectiveness. The primary objective is to provide a dynamic and effective perimeter defense against emerging web threats.
Il presente studio si focalizza sull'implementazione strategica e l'ottimizzazione di un Web Application Firewall (WAF), essenziale per rafforzare la sicurezza delle applicazioni web. Il processo include un'approfondita analisi delle vulnerabilità e dei requisiti, l'installazione e la configurazione del WAF con un impatto operativo minimo, l'adozione di specifici metodi e processi di sviluppo, fasi di testing e un'ottimizzazione mirata delle regole per massimizzare l'efficacia protettiva. L'obiettivo primario è fornire una difesa perimetrale dinamica ed efficace contro le minacce web emergenti.
