Imperva SecureSphere Web Application Firewall Rule Generation

The Invicti Standard 5.5 November 2019 Update introduced a new Imperva SecureSphere WAF rule generation capability. This allows you to protect vulnerable areas of your web application while you temporarily defer fixing some detected vulnerabilities.

Imperva Web Services Web Application Firewall examines HTTP requests that are sent to your website. Imperva is a type of reverse-proxy that means the WAF sits in front of your web servers and forwards client requests to them. First, though, it applies rules that protect your web applications from attacks made possible by cross-site forgery, cross-site scripting (XSS), file inclusion, SQL injection and other vulnerabilities.

In the recent Netsparker Standard 5.5 November 2019 Update, we introduced several new WAF integrations in Netsparker Standard. Imperva Web Services WAF is one of those integrations.

Generating Imperva WAF rules enables you to temporarily defer fixing detected vulnerabilities, yet protect vulnerable areas of your web application at the same time. Imperva WAF rules are generated from the Web Application Firewall tab in the Options dialog.
