Aegisify WAF (Web Application Firewall)

Protect WordPress at the Application Layer With Evidence Before Enforcement.

WordPress sites now run stores, portals, forms, APIs, memberships, dashboards, and custom applications. Aegisify WAF inspects requests early, maps traffic to the application surface, and separates monitoring, alerting, and blocking so teams can protect production workflows without treating every unusual request as proof of an attack.

01.

Early Request Inspection

Checks request integrity, methods, paths, headers, query data, bodies, cookies, and uploads before normal WordPress page handling completes.

02.

Correlated Security Signals

Combines managed signatures, request context, authentication abuse, endpoint policy, rate controls, and behavioral history without turning every heuristic into an automatic block.

03.

Application & API Monitoring

Inventories and monitors WordPress REST routes, public and authenticated AJAX actions, and selected application URLs with separate alert and enforcement controls.

04.

Reviewable Enforcement

Shows scores, evidence counts, matched signals, decision reasons, temporary bans, permanent blocks, country context, and administrator recovery actions.

WordPress Request Protection

Inspect high-confidence attack patterns and malformed request behavior across front-end, login, REST, AJAX, XML-RPC, and supported administrator request surfaces.

Application & API Intelligence

Monitor REST routes, AJAX actions, login traffic, bots, scanners, and repeated abuse while keeping trusted crawlers, signed Aegisify services, and legitimate integrations within narrow, verifiable boundaries.

Configuration & Recovery Intelligence

Back up durable WAF settings, verify restores with checksums, create rollback snapshots, scan the local WordPress attack surface, and review AI-assisted WAF plans before applying guarded changes.

A WordPress WAF Built Around Visibility, Control, and Recovery

Aegisify WAF evaluates requests during the WordPress lifecycle, applies protocol-safety checks and high-confidence attack rules, records suspicious behavior, and gives administrators a controlled path from monitor-only visibility to alerting and risk-scored enforcement.

Early WAF Inspection & Request Integrity

Aegisify WAF evaluates bounded request data early in the WordPress request lifecycle. It can reject malformed URI encoding, ambiguous HTTP framing, dangerous methods, executable uploads, and high-confidence attack signatures before normal page handling completes.

Risk-Scored Monitoring & Correlated Evidence

App Monitor and API Monitoring preserve aggregate activity, suspicious-event history, scores, thresholds, evidence counts, confidence, and decision reasons. Ordinary heuristics remain detection-only, while administrator-approved direct policies stay clearly separated.

REST, AJAX, OpenAPI & Per-Route Controls

Aegisify WAF inventories observed REST routes and AJAX actions, supports OpenAPI 3 and Swagger 2 request-contract validation, and provides JWT, API-key, identity-rate, BOLA compensating, GraphQL, and per-route policy controls where configured.

Bot, Authentication & Layer 7 Abuse Defense

Optional challenge, rate-limit, and temporary-block escalation helps respond to request floods and repeated abuse. Authentication Defense correlates credential stuffing and password spraying by source without storing passwords or raw usernames.

Protected Configuration Workflow

From WordPress Inventory to a Reviewable WAF Plan

Aegisify WAF can build an encrypted, versioned inventory of the current WordPress site, public application URLs, REST routes, AJAX actions, plugins, themes, runtime posture, and WAF configuration. The scan stays local and does not collect post content, user records, credentials, tokens, cookies, or request bodies.

Administrators can review local findings, send a minimized and redacted inventory through Aegisify Core for one approved AI analysis, download the proposed plan, and apply only validated low-risk settings. Changes are bound to the exact inventory and configuration snapshot, verified after writing, and protected by rollback.

Workflow: 1. Back up the current WAF configuration.   2. Scan and review the encrypted inventory.   3. Analyze the latest snapshot.   4. Download, approve, apply, verify, and rescan.

Aegisify WAF Capabilities

Use core inline protection for common attacks, then add monitoring, API controls, block and white list operations, encrypted inventory, configuration recovery, and AI-assisted mapping as your WordPress application grows.
