A WAF Profile contains the settings for WAF functionality and is attached to a WAF Policy.

The WAF Profile is referenced by a WAF Policy and is defined for a specific set of applications that can be easily reused by multiple WAF Policies and with that the Virtual Services.

The following are few possible examples for WAF Profiles.

  • An Application Java Profile that contains all the necessary elements for a specific type of Java application.

  • An Application PHP Profile that contains all the necessary elements for a specific type of PHP application.

  • An API Profile that contains configuration for API traffic.
