Web Security Device Scanning for WAF Customization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) fail to configure a comprehensive and individualized security strategy for Web sites, as they rely on generic protection rules that do not account for site-specific vulnerabilities, leading to inadequate protection against threats like SQL injection attacks.
Innovation Solution
A web security protection method and system that involves a web security device scanning a Web site for security bugs and sending the scan results to a WAF, allowing the WAF to configure a customized security strategy based on the identified vulnerabilities, thereby enhancing the site's protection capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional WAF uses generic protection rules, then device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but protection effectiveness and adaptability to specific site vulnerabilities deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary vulnerability scanning of the web site before configuring protection rules. The scanning module automatically identifies security bugs and generates customized protection strategies in advance, eliminating the need for manual configuration and ensuring comprehensive coverage of site-specific vulnerabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The WAF system automatically scans its protected web site, identifies vulnerabilities, and configures protection rules without external intervention. The scanning module and rule generation module work autonomously to create individualized security strategies tailored to each site's specific vulnerabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional WAF uses generic protection rules, then ease of operation is improved, but adaptability to individualized security needs deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The WAF system automatically scans its protected web site, identifies vulnerabilities, and configures protection rules without external intervention. The scanning module and rule generation module work autonomously to create individualized security strategies tailored to each site's specific vulnerabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts protection parameters based on the scanned vulnerability profile of each web site. By changing the security configuration parameters according to detected bugs and threats, the system achieves high adaptability while maintaining ease of operation through automated parameter optimization.
3Speed
If real-time monitoring is implemented, then response speed to security threats is improved, but device complexity and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The WAF continuously monitors web traffic and scans for vulnerabilities without interruption, maintaining constant security protection. The real-time scanning and threat detection capabilities ensure immediate response to security threats while the system manages complexity through integrated monitoring functions.

AI summary
A method, device and system for network security protection comprise: according to a received scan task, a network security device performs a security bug scan of the scan task appointed web site, and when a scan result is obtained, transmits the scan result to a network application firewall, so that the network application firewall can configure a individuality security strategy for the web site according to the received scan result. The problem that it can not he implemented complete individuality security configuration of the web site can be solved in this way.
