Version Number: v1.0.1 Published Date: 10 September 2025 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ #### **How it works?** Edgescan's WAF Rule generator is designed to quickly mitigate findings by exporting a ready-to-apply WAF rule/policy tailored to a specific finding. This helps minimize the risk window while you schedule the permanent code fix. Edgescan currently has integrations built out for ModSecurity, F5 and Citrix Netscaler AppFirewall. Edgescan WAF rule generator should be used as a temporary measure and not a permanent fix for a discovered vulnerability. #### **How to Generate WAF Rules in Edgescan** 1.
