This document summarizes Qualys' Web Application Firewall (WAF) as a service. The key points are:
1) Qualys' WAF provides protection against known and emerging web application threats through security rules updated in less than 5 minutes. It helps increase website performance without additional equipment.
2) Benefits include zero-footprint, low cost deployment; ease of use and maintenance; and real-time attack prevention through virtual patching and application hardening.
3) The Qualys WAF beta will be available on the Amazon EC2 platform in August 2013, and generally available in December 2013, also supporting the VMWare platform. It provides an always up-to-date rules engine
Web applications are arguably the most important back-end component of any online business. They are used to power many of the features most of us take for granted on a website
Web Application Firewall (WAF) DAST/SAST combinationTjylen Veselyj
In this presentation we analyze benefits of applied innovative WAF that have callback connection with DAST security tools and allow very quickly detect security defects in critical SaaS or e-commerce application
Cloud Web Application Firewall - GlobalDotsGlobalDots
A regular web application firewall (WAF) provides security by operating through an application or service. Blocking service calls, inputs and outputs that do not meet the policy of a firewall, i.e. set of rules to a HTTP conversation.
The rules to blocking an attack can be customized depending on the role in protecting websites that WAFs need to have. This is considered an evolving information security technology, more powerful than a standard network firewall, or a regular intrusion detection system.
WAFs become integrated with the cloud

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
2. Web Applications
• Are everywhere: Webmail, CMS, CRM, Corporate WWW
etc.
• HTTP is powering all new applications using new data
format like XML and JSON
• Organisations are publishing data for B2B through APIs
using HTTP and XML/JSON or SOAP
• Mobile applications usually connect to APIs or Web
Applications using HTTP
3. New security issues
• Network firewalls are useless, they can’t inspect HTTP
Protocol
• Web Applications can be developed in-house or
provided by software editor, with closed or open source
code
• Each web applications is different, depending on the
business logic, development framework and data used
and stored
• To secure Web applications, a WAF (Web Application
Firewal) Must be deployed additionnaly to network
firewall
4. Existing solutions
• From network security,
application delivery and
compliance
– Fortinet, SonicWall,
Deny All, imperva
– F5, Citrix Netscaler,
Radware, BeeWare
– Mod_security
• Saas vendors
– Cloudflare, incapsula,
– Art of defense
– Trend Micro
– Akamai Kona
Hard to maintain and operate,
security, development,
infrastructure team are involved,
policies are unique and not shared
between customers
Few clic deployment, no expertise
needed, security is compiled from
all website knowledge, but traffic
MUST be processed in the cloud
5. Technical Challenge
• Web application security policies are complex
– Need to use regular expression
– Need to understand how the application works
• Today, WAF are too complex to maintain and operate.
Vendors are adding others feature to make it a must
have product
• Qualys stay focused on WAF security features but
dramaticaly reduce TCO of this kind of protection by
providing a distributed solution.
6. Qualys alternative
• Qualys Distributed WAF
– Security ruleset provided from all Qualys WAF feedback
– Virtual Appliance deployment, you keep managing your traffic
• Available as
– Amazon EC2 AMI (beta)
– VMware image (beta)
– GA Planned to early december
– HW WAF Appliance is under development for 2014
• Manage security events and rules from a single UI
• With Qualys WAF, you don’t spend time on managing rules, you can
stay focused on managing security events

– Qualys is directly managing the security
engine and ruleset, they are updated in less
than 5 minutes when a security or
maintenance fix is avaible
• Qualys Security Ruleset
– Provided by Qualys Security Researcher Team,
this ruleset is the default security policy
avalaible on all WAF. It’s blocking injection
attacks like command, SQL, Javascript, Files
etc.
• Custom Security rules
– Provided by the customer or partner, these
rules are adapted to the website specific
design and can be setup depending on each
HTTP Request field.
• Integration with QualysGuard WAS*
– No need to setup twice your web applications
in these security tools, it’s automaticaly
provisionned and the WAF deployment made
easy from what the Web Application Scanner
found.
• HTTP Security
– HTTP protocol can be implemented in
different ways depending on web server and
browsers. To avoid some attack based on bad
implementation, the Qualys WAF will verify the
protocol is correctly used.
• IP/Country Blacklist
– Depending on your activity, you may not want
some request from specific countries or IP.
The Qualys WAF is able to increase/decrease
the request score, or directly block depending
of source IP or country.
• Information leakage
– By doing Web Cloaking, the Qualys WAF is
able to shadow all critical informations sent by
the Web Server, Application server or
development framwork used to develop the
web application
• Reporting
– Build your own report containing key indicators
you need to speak with managers
• Session tracking
12. Deployment
• Virtual appliance available
