Why the Number of WAF Rules Doesn’t Reflect Its Real Effectiveness
In the network security ecosystem, here is a common practice: WAF (Web Application Firewall) solutions that boast thousands of active rules. For an administrator evaluating products, that number may seem reassuring — more rules should theoretically mean more protection. But when you dig deeper, you quickly discover that many of those rules don’t apply to…

The Importance of Reload in Web Service Continuity
Today, virtually every business depends on its online infrastructure. Companies manage multiple websites, internal applications, or e-commerce platforms that must remain available at all times. As these environments grow, maintenance and stability become as critical as security — and every change must be applied without affecting the user experience. Maintaining uptime during configuration changes requires…

Mitigating DDoS and L7 Exhaustion: why one layer is not enough
In security discussions, the term DDoS is often used as if it referred to a single type of threat.

Managed Cloud Load Balancer: Zero Ops, High Availability, and Security
In recent years, digital transformation has emerged as a key driver of business growth. Customers expect fast, secure, and always-available experiences, while IT teams must ensure continuity in an increasingly complex environment. The cloud has been the natural response: it enables instant scalability, reduces physical infrastructure, and allows services to be deployed in minutes. But…

AutoUpdate: Simplifying Patch Management for System Administrators
Automatic updates are not a new concept. In consumer software, they have been running quietly in the background for years, barely noticed by users. However, in critical infrastructure and enterprise systems, the story is very different. Here, updates remain a delicate process, full of dependencies, manual checks, and risks that force teams to spend more…

When a company evaluates an Application Delivery Controller, one of the key questions that often comes up is: Does it allow for traffic inspection? But this question is more complex than it seems. Traffic inspection is a critical capability in many Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs), but its meaning can vary depending on the context, the…
