abstract: >-
  Web application firewalls are essential tools for
  protecting web applications. However, the configuration
  and maintenance of such systems, particularly in
  large-scale environments, can prove challenging due to the
  significant number of interconnected rules and directives
  that must be managed. This complexity often leads to
  difficulties in troubleshooting and optimising
  configurations. In order to address these issues, we
  present WAF-GUARD, a novel tool that leverages an
  ontological representation of WAF configurations as a
  means of assisting in the resolution of potential
  problems. WAF-GUARD allows experts to navigate complex
  configurations while maintaining clear links to the file
  system structure. The ontology allows exploration of the
  relationships between rules, macros, and files, thereby
  enhancing the usability of WAF management. We have applied
  our tool on large-size configurations developed within
  Approach Cyber, showing the capabilities of the tool in
  real-world context.
