What is ModSecurity?
ModSecurity is an open-source web application firewall engine, originally for Apache and now maintained as a CRS-compatible engine that runs in front of HTTP traffic to block attacks via configurable rules.
Why connect ModSecurity to Konvu
- Let the Mitigation Engineer ship targeted ModSecurity rules for exploitable findings the Application Security Engineer has confirmed, closing the exploit window in minutes.
- Test every rule against known exploit signatures and a sample of legitimate traffic before deployment, with rollback if false-positive rates go bad.
- Retire rules automatically when the Remediation Engineer confirms the upstream fix has shipped, so compensating controls don't silently become permanent.
How it works
Receive exploit conditions
The Mitigation Engineer reads the verified exploit path from the Application Security Engineer.
Draft & test rule
A ModSecurity rule is drafted scoped to the vulnerable code path and tested against the exploit signature and your legitimate traffic.
Deploy with approval flow
The rule is deployed to your ModSecurity instance via the approval flow your team has configured.
Monitor & retire
Blocks and false positives are monitored in production; the rule is removed once the Remediation Engineer confirms the fix is live.
Quick setup
Configure ModSecurity from the integrations list in Konvu.
- 1Go to /configuration/integrations in Konvu and choose ModSecurity.
