was held on 25th February 2026
About the Security Event
Strengthen protection for on premises applications by understanding how Web Application Firewall capabilities and packet capture work together to defend against modern threats. This session focuses on how WAF technology mitigates common web based attacks and how PCAP supports validation, troubleshooting and deeper investigation within on premises environments.
The discussion covers practical deployment models for WAF implementations and explains where packet capture should be positioned for accurate visibility. It also highlights common PCAP mistakes, such as capturing on the wrong interface or direction, missing VLAN tags or expecting decrypted payloads without session keys. Attendees will gain clear guidance on tuning and operating on premises WAF solutions while using packet data effectively for analysis and response.
