We are thrilled to introduce Simulated Blocking, a new enhancement for Impart designed specifically for security engineers who want more control and clarity when deploying advanced security rules.

Simulated Blocking is a new feature that allows you to safely test and analyze security rules without impacting live traffic. Unlike legacy WAFs, which often lack transparency and require guesswork, Simulated Blocking provides clear insights and full visibility into potential blocking actions.

Key Differentiators of Simulated Blocking:

1. Clear Insights on Potential Blocks: Know exactly which requests would have been blocked by your security rules, giving you confidence in your configurations and adjustments.

2. No Guesswork Needed: Eliminate the need for manual inferences. Simulated Blocking offers complete transparency on which rules would trigger blocks, allowing you to fine-tune rules with precision.

3. Complete Data Visibility: Unlike legacy WAFs that sample data and can miss critical information, Simulated Blocking captures all requests, ensuring you have a comprehensive view of your environment.

4. Easy Detection of Rule Changes: Instantly see the impact of turning rules on or off with detailed logs, avoiding any uncertainty or guesswork common with legacy solutions.

5. Better Rule Testing: Test complex rules and conditions safely and effectively, ensuring your security posture is robust without any unexpected consequences.

Why Choose Simulated Blocking?

Simulated Blocking empowers security engineers with more precise and actionable data, allowing for better decision-making and optimization of security rules. With this new feature, you can confidently design, test, and deploy security measures that keep your environment safe while minimizing disruptions.

Try Simulated Blocking today and experience a new level of clarity and control.
