Azure WAF’s Bot Manager 1.1 and JavaScript Challenge: Navigating the Bot Threat Terrain
Discover how Azure WAF’s Bot Manager 1.1 and the JavaScript Challenge elevate your bot protection strategy. In this blog, we explore how these advanced features in Azure Front Door and Application Gateway provide a robust defense against malicious bots while ensuring legitimate traffic flows smoothly. Learn how to fine-tune your web application’s security to safeguard against evolving bot threats without compromising on performance.Navigating Azure WAF Exclusions
Exclusions in Azure WAF (Web Application Firewall) are a critical feature that allows administrators to fine-tune security rules by specifying elements that should not be evaluated by WAF rules. This capability is essential for reducing false positives and ensuring that legitimate traffic flows unimpeded. Exclusions are designed to fine-tune the WAF’s sensitivity, allowing legitimate traffic to pass through while maintaining robust security measures. They are particularly useful in scenarios where certain request attributes, such as specific cookie values or query strings, are known to be safe but might trigger WAF rules due to their content or structure.
Adjust permitted content types in Front Door Premium WAF
Hi, I am tuning a Front Door Premium WAF policy for a web app which has just been deployed. I am seeing multiple hits on rule PROTOCOL-ENFORCEMENT-920420 due to a context type of text/html being received. Matching traffic I have reviewed so far is all legitimate and should not be blocked. How can I adjust the permitted content types? cheers, Michael
