Product Updates

We’ve been busy building new ways to make the Inspector more powerful, flexible, and easy to use. In this update, you’ll find improvements to the Inspector itself, plus two brand-new apps that put more security controls at your fingertips. From streamlined updates in Inspector v0.40.0, to easier access to release notes in our docs site, to new apps for blocking attacks and protecting sensitive data—you now have more tools than ever to strengthen your security posture.

This month, we’re delivering a mix of AI-powered enhancements, deeper visibility, and workflow refinements to help you move faster with more confidence. From LLM-assisted rule script optimization that streamlines code and boosts performance, to expanded event change logs that make auditing crystal clear, to rule and tag improvements that smooth out the everyday editing experience—these updates are all about giving you smarter tools and sharper insights.

Impart Product Update: Smarter, Faster, and More Transparent Security — Inspector v0.38.0 delivers major performance improvements, smarter learning behavior, and deeper visibility. We’ve optimized CPU usage, added safeguards against memory pressure, and introduced better learning for user-specific paths. New metrics and status code logging give teams clearer insights into production activity. We’ve also rolled out quality-of-life upgrades across the platform: batch rule actions make it easier to manage security rules at scale, new bot protection tags offer more transparency into automated traffic decisions, organized rule categories help you find what you need faster, a redesigned labels page streamlines entity management, and simplified profile navigation makes key settings easier to find and manage. These updates reduce noise, save time, and give security teams better tools to protect what matters most.

We’ve made it easier to build and manage rules with new features designed for clarity and control. You can now group conditions for more powerful logic, reorder them with ease, add multi-line descriptions for better documentation, and use numeric operators in CTX-based rules to support advanced comparisons.

Instead of spending time writing and testing custom logic, detection and response teams can now tap into a curated set of rules tailored for modern cloud applications. These aren't your standard WAF rules — they're full-featured, deeply customizable, and built to align with your business logic. Even better, the rule library has rules of different types - including rule recipes (rule builder based) or rule scripts (code based)!

We're inviting forward-thinking security teams to experience an agentic approach to risk assessment. If you're ready to transform how you manage security risks, we want you in our beta program.

We’re excited to announce Impart’s native integration with Gloo Gateway—a seamless way to bring enterprise-class security to APIs and AI-driven applications.

One of the most complex aspects of running a WAF is managing its security rules effectively. That's where Rule Architect, our AI-powered WAF rule expert, comes in. With a distinct personality that combines deep security expertise with a dash of wit, Rule Architect takes the headache out of WAF rule management.Think of Rule Architect as your witty security companion – it knows WAF rules inside and out, and it's not afraid to tell you when your rules might be stepping on each other's toes. While it takes security seriously, it brings a refreshing approach to what's traditionally been a dry and technical domain. It's like having a brilliant security architect on your team who also happens to make rule management almost... fun?

Security teams can now validate WAF rules before they hit production, thanks to Impart Security's new WAF Rule Tester. No more crossing fingers and hoping for the best when deploying new rules.

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.
