Abstract
Centralized management of web application firewalls (WAFs) is disclosed. Network-security devices in data centers perform server load balancing and implement WAFs for applications. Vendor-specific bridges map application and system parameters for use by a management process. Policies for policy-name/device pairs are provided and grouped into policy groups, which can be included with global parent policy groups. Portions of policy metadata can be retrieved without degrading system performance to detect changes, which can then be synchronized across other applicable policies, groups, devices, and WAFs.
