Automated Security Validation for WAF

Cymulate uses breach and attack simulations to assess the efficacy of your web application defenses. The test scenarios simulate different types of web application threats and malicious code injection to validate the effectiveness of your web app firewall including: 

• Code injection and file inclusion
• Cross-site scripting (XSS)
• Server-side request forgery (SSRF)
• Path traversal and WAF bypass
