MONITORAPP's managed rules for AWS WAF - OWASP Top 10 Rule set are designed to enhance web application security by focusing on the most critical security risks to web applications as identified by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).
OWASP Top 10 rules are specifically tailored to defend against the vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP Top 10, which include common threats like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and more. This targeted approach helps ensure that the most prevalent web application security risks are addressed. The rules are developed and regularly updated by security professionals. As new vulnerabilities are discovered and as threat landscapes evolve, the rules are adjusted accordingly, providing up-to-date protection without requiring manual intervention from users.
