Abstract:
In a system for configuring a web application firewall, one or more parameters of the firewall are adjusted such that a test configured for exposing a vulnerability of an application protected by the application firewall is blocked by the firewall and another test configured to invoke functionality of the application but that does not expose or exploit any security vulnerability is not blocked by the firewall. A notification is provided to a user if such a firewall configuration is not found after a specified number of attempts.

Claim (Index 17):
An apparatus comprising:\n a processor; and a computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to,\n modify a configuration of an application firewall in response to a determination that the application firewall failed to block transmission of a first test to an application behind the application firewall, the first test associated with a security defect in the application, \n transmit a second test to the application, the second test comprising a legitimate request, and \n modify the configuration of the application firewall in response to a determination that the application firewall at least partially blocked the second test.
