Protecting Against OWASP Top 10 with SafeLine WAF

SafeLine WAF is a powerful web application firewall designed to defend your web services against the most critical security risks identified in the OWASP Top 10. Here's how SafeLine helps mitigate each threat:

1. Broken Access Control

SafeLine uses advanced semantic analysis and customizable rules to detect and block unauthorized access attempts. Configure fine-grained access policies to protect sensitive applications.

2. Cryptographic Failures

While cryptographic implementation is generally on the application side, SafeLine can enforce HTTPS and block insecure protocols to prevent the exploitation of cryptographic weaknesses.

3. Injection

SafeLine's semantic analysis engine accurately detects SQL injection, command injection, and other malicious payloads, blocking them in real time without relying solely on regex.

4. Insecure Design

SafeLine supports custom allow/deny rules to prevent parameter tampering and access control bypass. It also defends against brute-force attacks through rate limiting and anti-bot challenge. Additionally, the semantic analysis module can detect certain typical attack behaviors.

5. Security Misconfiguration

SafeLine can block access to specific URLs through custom rules, such as /admin, /phpinfo.php, and others.
Under default configuration without any modifications, for example, default Tomcat pages or development interfaces without access control can be protected by setting deny rules in the WAF.
It also supports manually adding security response headers to address issues related to insecure HTTP headers, and more.

6. Vulnerable and Outdated Components

A standalone WAF does not have the capability to identify vulnerable components.

7. Identification and Authentication Failures

SafeLine supports robust authentication rule enforcement and rate limiting to prevent brute-force and credential stuffing attacks, especially on login APIs.

8. Software and Data Integrity Failures

SafeLine allows users to:

• Set custom allow/deny rules to tightly control access to sensitive paths (e.g., /webhook, /config).
• Use rate limiting and CAPTCHA challenges to guard against automated attacks on critical APIs.
• Add or enforce secure response headers for better defense-in-depth.

⚠️ Note: Protecting software integrity is primarily the job of secure SDLC, code signing, and pipeline controls. WAFs are best used as a complementary defense layer.

9. Security Logging and Monitoring Failures

SafeLine provides detailed real-time logs and notifications with Discord, Telegram, making it easy to monitor and respond to security incidents.

10. Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

SafeLine detects and blocks SSRF attempts by analyzing request destinations and patterns (semantic analysis engine), preventing malicious redirections and internal data exposure.

By leveraging SafeLine WAF’s modern detection techniques and user-friendly interface, organizations can significantly reduce their attack surface and stay protected against the OWASP Top 10 threats.
