Generate a security policy audit

When analyzing a Web Application Security policy, ensure that it is a child policy.

Analyze the protection status and application security provided by your Web Application Security policy. Generate an audit that allows you to view the policy’s overall protection capabilities and a list of system-provided recommendations for improvement.

  1. Go to Configuration > SECURITY > Web Application Security > Policies.

  2. Click the check box next to the name of the security policy you would like to audit.

    You are not required to select a policy at this stage.

  3. Click More and select Policy Analyzer.

    If you have not yet selected a policy, or you would like to analyze a different policy, select a security policy from SECURITY POLICY area in the upper left side of the screen. Once you select a policy, click Analyze.

  4. To save a local copy of the the security audit, click Export to download a CSV file of the information in the audit.

You have now generated a security policy audit, which will allow you to asses the current status of the policy’s application protection capabilities.

You can use this audit to enable, ignore, and/or deploy policy recommendations listed on this screen. See Overview of security policy audit for more information.
