Rule Writer is your go-to AI-powered assistant for tackling the messy, time-consuming world of WAF rule creation and management. It’s not just a tool—it’s like having an extra teammate who never sleeps and always knows exactly what to do.

The Truth About WAF Rules

Here’s the thing about WAF rules: most teams barely touch them. It’s not because they don’t care—it’s because they don’t have time. Many teams rely on open-source rule sets, turn on just enough to pass a compliance check, and then… well, forget about them. WAF rules often end up as a "set it and forget it" kind of situation.

When WAF Rules Get Attention, It’s Urgent

But when WAF rules do need updating, it’s usually because something’s on fire. Maybe your app is under attack, or a false positive is blocking critical traffic. It could even be a major partner unable to connect to your app. In these moments, speed is everything. You can’t afford to spend weeks crafting the perfect rule. You need a fix, and you need it now.

Enter Rule Writer

Rule Writer changes the game. It’s an AI assistant that helps you design, test, and deploy WAF rules faster than ever. Here’s how it works:

  1. Start with a Prompt: Simply submit a rule generation prompt to the Impart Platform. No need for deep expertise—just describe the problem.
  2. AI-Powered Rule Creation: Rule Writer uses its pre-trained models to create a WAF rule tailored to your needs. It’s like having a seasoned detection engineer on-call.
  3. Built-in Testing: The rule isn’t just written—it’s tested right there in the Impart Console. You can validate it against simulated test cases instantly, without having to deploy to production.
  4. Quick Deployment: Once you’re satisfied, deploy the rule with a click. No manual implementation, no long delays—just fast, effective action.
