WAF That's Actually Managed
WAF configured, monitored, and tuned by our security team. Not just deployed—actually managed. No false positives to debug, no rules to maintain.
A WAF You Deploy and Forget Is Barely Better Than No WAF

Managed WAF Makes Sense When...
No Security Team
Most businesses don't have dedicated security staff. We become your security team for WAF.
PCI DSS Requirements
E-commerce sites need WAF for PCI compliance. We handle the configuration and provide audit documentation.
Healthcare / HIPAA
Applications handling PHI need proper access controls and monitoring. We configure and maintain them.
Had WAF, Wasn't Working
Deployed WAF years ago, never maintained it? We take over, audit, and get it working properly.
From Onboarding to Ongoing Protection
Discovery Call
We learn about your application, traffic patterns, and security requirements. Takes about 30 minutes.
Initial Configuration
We deploy and configure WAF specifically for your application. Custom rules, not just defaults.
Tuning Period
We monitor closely for the first 2 weeks, tuning rules to eliminate false positives.
Ongoing Management
24/7 monitoring, incident response, rule updates, and monthly reports. We've got it from here.
Often Used Together
Managed WAF pairs well with these services for comprehensive security.
Common Questions
What's the difference between WAF and Managed WAF?
Standard WAF gives you the protection tools. Managed WAF adds our security team to configure, monitor, tune, and respond. It's the difference between having a security system and having a security team watching it 24/7.
Can you take over our existing WAF?
Yes. We can take over management of WAF you've already deployed but haven't been maintaining. We'll audit your current configuration, fix issues, and start active management.
How do you handle false positives?
We monitor blocked requests and identify legitimate traffic being blocked. When we find false positives, we create custom rules to allow that traffic while maintaining security. You don't need to file tickets—we catch and fix these proactively.
What if I have an unusual application?
We configure WAF specifically for your application, including custom rules for your specific endpoints, APIs, and traffic patterns. Default rules are just the starting point.
What's in the monthly report?
Threats blocked by category, top attack sources, any incidents and how we responded, false positives we resolved, rule changes made, and recommendations for improving your security posture.
Do you support compliance audits?
Yes. We provide WAF logs, configuration documentation, and reports in formats auditors expect. For PCI DSS, we document how the WAF meets requirement 6.6. We don't do the audit, but we make your auditor's job easier.
