Introducing Rule Tracing

We're excited to announce the release of Rule Tracing, a powerful new feature in Impart Security that provides clear visibility into which specific security rule triggered a blocking decision. This feature enables security engineers to design, test, and fine-tune a comprehensive security policy more efficiently than ever.

Security rules are rarely deployed in isolation. They work together as part of a broader strategy to defend against a wide range of threats. With Rule Tracing, you gain immediate insight into the rule responsible for any block, eliminating the need for cumbersome log analysis and manual investigation.

Key Benefits:

  • Trace Blocking Behavior : Quickly identify the rule that triggered a block without sifting through detailed logs.
  • Filter Blocked Requests: Enhance your security policies by understanding the impact of each rule within your broader threat mitigation strategy.
  • Faster Rule Development: Pinpoint blocking rules in real time, streamlining both testing and troubleshooting.

Why This Matters

Legacy WAFs and out of band API security solutions cannot offer this level of transparency. In legacy systems, identifying the exact rule responsible for blocking an attack can be a slow, labor-intensive process, requiring deep log analysis, which is too little, too late.

Impart's Rule Tracing simplifies this, empowering security teams to respond faster and maintain more effective defenses.
