Security teams can now validate WAF rules before they hit production, thanks to Impart Security's new WAF Rule Tester. No more crossing fingers and hoping for the best when deploying new rules.
The Old Way: Hope-Driven Security
Traditionally, testing WAF rules has been a nerve-wracking experience:
- Push rules to production in monitor mode
- Wait anxiously for days to spot issues
- Hope nothing breaks while you wait
- Struggle to simulate sophisticated attacks and edge cases
- Cross your fingers and promote to blocking mode
The Better Way: Test-Driven Security
WAF Rule Tester brings confidence and speed to WAF management through powerful test cases that let you:
- Validate rules against synthetic HTTP traffic in seconds, not days
- Simulate complex scenarios including business logic attacks
- Test rule interactions and chain effects
- Verify blocking, rate limiting, and detection behaviors
- Integrate WAF testing directly into your CI/CD pipeline
How It Works
1. Define your test case with synthetic HTTP requests/responses
2. Configure your expected behaviors and assertions
3. Run the test and get results in seconds
4. Deploy with confidence knowing exactly how your rules will behave
