Scenario: A Citrix Engineer is implementing Citrix Web App Firewall to protect a new web application. The engineer has created a profile, configured the relaxation rules, and applied signature protections. Additionally, the engineer has assigned the profile to a policy and bound the policy to the application.
What is the next step for the engineer in protecting the web application?
After configuring the necessary profiles, relaxation rules, and signature protections, the next critical step is to test the web application protections with a group of trusted users. This testing phase is essential to ensure that the configurations are correctly implemented and to identify any potential issues or vulnerabilities in a controlled environment before going live. Testing with trusted users helps validate the effectiveness of the security measures and allows for adjustments as needed based on their feedback and any issues encountered.
Enabling logging on key protections allows the engineer to monitor and analyze the traffic and potential threats to the web application. By reviewing the logs, the engineer can identify any security issues or suspicious activities and take appropriate action to further enhance the protection measures.
B. The Signature Auto Update functionality in the Web Application Firewall allows the user to get the latest signatures to protect the web application against new vulnerabilities. The auto update feature provides better protection without the need for ongoing manual intervention to get the latest updates.
