Generic Web Application Security policy templates

The following defines and details the generic policy templates you can apply when creating a new Web Application Security parent or child policy (
Configuration
SECURITY
Web Application Security
Policies
). These templates automatically populate required fields, based on the most common application protection needs. You can use these templates to pilot your security measure to fine-tune as needed.

Template Overview

Rapid Deployment Policy (RDP)
A moderate protection layer that includes manual learning of false positives. This protection template meets the majority of Web Application Security requirements.
Operational Cost: Low
BIG-IP Version Support*: All versions supported by BIG-IQ centralized management
API Security
A moderate protection layer that follows the same protection as RDP, with additional support for API security features such as: REST API (JSON, XML) and Websocket security.
Operational Cost: Low
BIG-IP Version Support*: Version 13.1.0.2 or later
Fundamental
A high-to-moderate protection layer that includes automatic learning of false positives, and specific entity types. This template includes a blocking enforcement mode.
Operational Cost: Medium
Comprehensive
A high protection layer with automatic learning for all entity types. This template includes a blocking enforcement mode.
Operational Cost: High
BIG-IP Version Support*: All versions supported by BIG-IQ centralized management
Passive Deployment Policy (PDP)
A low protection layer with a high level of automatic learning (similar to comprehensive), but fully transparent protection layer and does not interfere with the traffic. This template is designed to protect as many potential threats as possible, without the risk of affecting traffic with false positives.
Operational Cost: High
BIG-IP Version Support*: Version 13.1 or later
Vulnerability Assessment Baseline
Provides the lowest protection, and is used to create a security baseline by identifying, classifying and reporting security holes or weaknesses in your web site's code.
Operational Cost: Medium
BIG-IP Version Support*: All versions supported by BIG-IQ centralized management
*General template support does not include all settings. Variations are indicated with the setting and template type.
This table highlights critical aspects of each template's general properties.
