Security

How GladiosWAF approaches product security, data protection, deployment isolation, and responsible disclosure.

Enterprise-Grade Security by Design

GladiosWAF is built with a security-first architecture designed to protect modern web applications and APIs through AI-powered request analysis.

GladiosWAF focuses on Intent Analysis: evaluating whether a request structurally resembles malicious behavior instead of relying only on static signatures.

Core Security Principles

Zero-Rule AI Protection

GladiosWAF uses machine learning-based Intent Analysis instead of static rule signatures, reducing manual rule maintenance and improving detection of modern attack techniques.

Secure Infrastructure

GladiosWAF deployments can be isolated within:

  • private networks,
  • on-premise environments,
  • VLAN-segmented infrastructure,
  • or air-gapped systems.

Data Protection

Request Processing

GladiosWAF analyzes HTTP request structures including:

  • URL paths,
  • query parameters
  • headers,
  • and request bodies.

Customers maintain full control over what data is forwarded for analysis.

Sensitive Data Control

Before analysis, customers may:

  • remove sensitive headers,
  • sanitize request bodies,
  • anonymize fields,
  • or exclude confidential information entirely.

Deployment Flexibility

GladiosWAF supports:

  • Cloud deployments
  • On-premise deployments
  • Edge deployments
  • Offline environments

Operational Security Features

GladiosWAF supports:

  • Fail-Open and Fail-Closed modes
  • Shadow Mode logging
  • Secure API authentication
  • Request sanitization
  • Network isolation architectures
