WAF and Appsec Insights

What happens when cutting-edge technology meets the reality of securing modern applications? That’s the question our expert panel tackled in this conversation on how eBPF is reshaping application security. Moderated by Katie Norton of IDC, the discussion featured Brian Joe (Impart Security), Francesco Cipollone (Phoenix Security), and Daniel Pacak (cloud-native security consultant), who brought insights from across the security landscape.Starting with eBPF’s roots in network traffic filtering, the panel explored its evolution into a powerful tool for observability and, potentially, security. Along the way, they challenged the hype, highlighted its real-world applications, and didn’t shy away from its limitations. This wasn’t just a tech talk—it was a deep dive into what eBPF can actually deliver and where the industry still needs to innovate.

Impart Security Partnership with AWSToday, we are thrilled to announce our partnership with AWS. This collaboration brings together Impart’s advanced API security capabilities with AWS’s unmatched global scale, performance, and cloud services portfolio.Native Integration with AWS for Seamless SecurityImpart Security and AWS share a vision of enabling organizations to build, deploy, and secure modern applications with confidence. With this partnership, customers can leverage Impart Security’s robust WAF and API protection directly integrated with AWS cloud services. This ensures a streamlined experience, optimal performance, and enterprise-grade security for any application, whether it’s hosted on-premises, in hybrid environments, or across multiple public clouds.

Impart is excited to introduce Rule Test Assertions—a powerful tool for security engineers to develop and validate firewall rules with precision. Rule Test Assertions allow you to specify conditions, such as ensuring a request is blocked or an attack payload is flagged, and evaluate these conditions during rule regression testing before production deployment.

Too many cooks spoil the broth, and too many security tools overcomplicate application security efforts. Impart Security has a better idea.

Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) is a common vulnerability found in APIs, ranking as one of the Top 10 API Security Threats. BOLA occurs when an API fails to properly verify if users are authorized to access certain data, leading to unauthorized exposure or manipulation of sensitive information. These vulnerabilities are often tied to business logic abuse and can pose significant risks to organizations. With Impart's BOLA Protection, security teams can detect and stop BOLA exploitation attempts before they cause damage. Our solution ensures robust authorization mechanisms, helping you safeguard your APIs from unauthorized access and abuse.

For too long, security teams have been forced to rely on outdated, cumbersome tools that make their jobs harder than they need to be. While these teams are resourceful and always find a way to get the job done, the poor developer experience (DevEx) takes its toll—leading to higher maintenance costs and slower response times. It's time for security teams to have access to tools with the same modern, efficient DevEx that developers use, empowering them to work faster and more effectively in defending against threats.
