✍ How long does it take an organization to fix an application vulnerability once it is discovered? In highly distributed environments, the time gap between detecting a security risk and actually blocking it remains a critical challenge. In a recent article, our expert Martin Oravec breaks down how F5 Distributed Cloud Web Application Scanning addresses this issue. By integrating this SaaS-based DAST solution directly into F5’s Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP), organizations can connect automated scanning with real-time protection. 👉 Key takeaways from the analysis on how this benefits BIG-IP AWAF and Distributed Cloud WAF users: 🔺 Immediate Virtual Patching: Scan results can be imported directly into BIG-IP AWAF to deploy targeted protections right away, mitigating risks at the WAF layer before code fixes are even deployed. 🔺 Data-Driven Policies: Instead of relying on manual WAF tuning, security policies can be updated automatically based on real, verified vulnerabilities. 🔺Embedded DevSecOps Loops: Within the Distributed Cloud ecosystem, scan findings automatically recommend specific WAF signatures and API security policies. Instead of running separate, siloed tools for testing and runtime defense, this approach creates a closed-loop system where risks are identified and acted upon immediately. Could this automated approach to virtual patching be the right step forward to improve the protection of distributed applications and APIs in your organization? 🔦 Read the full article below and share your thoughts in the comments.
