Make your WAF Smarter: Preparing Your WAF for the AI Bug Flood

​AI is lowering the cost of vulnerability discovery. Security teams should expect more bug reports, faster proof-of-concept development, and shorter windows between disclosure and exploitation. The problem is no longer just volume. It is knowing which findings matter in your environment.

​WAFs remain critical. They stop volumetric attacks, bots, credential abuse, and known exploit signatures. But many modern application attacks do not look like obvious bad traffic. Zero-days have no signatures at disclosure. Supply-chain compromises often execute inside the workload, beyond the view of perimeter controls.

​This expert panel will cover how security teams can pair WAF enforcement with runtime application intelligence.

​We will discuss:

• ​How AI changes vulnerability discovery and validation

• ​Why security teams need a better way to separate real risk from noise

• ​Where WAFs lose visibility without runtime context

• ​How runtime signals validate exploitability and detect execution anomalies

• ​How runtime intelligence can feed precise enforcement back to the WAF

​Designed for security researchers, AI researchers, AppSec leaders, and teams responsible for application defense.
