The invention discloses a
Web application firewall rule updating method, device and
system. The method disclosed by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps: firstly, a
Web server sends a rule synchronization request for a target service to a rule management
server; and then, the rule management
server verifies whether a target version number in the rule synchronization request is consistent with the latest version number, wherein the target version number is the version number, which is locally stored by the
Web server, of a first firewall rule corresponding to the target
server; and the latest version number is the version number, which is stored in a local hard disk of the rule management server, of the latest firewall rule corresponding to the target service; if the target version number and the latest version number are inconsistent, a second firewall rule is sent to the
Web server; the Web server receives the second firewall rule sent by the rule management server; and the first firewall rule is updated as the second firewall rule. By use of the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the updating of the firewall rule can be realized in real time.
