Can SIP protocol be applied to WAF Policy?

Hi expert,

 

Recently, I have a need to apply WAF policy to a VoIP service, and I was told to use SIP protocol, but I went to Virtual Server and found that I can't apply http profile.

Does it mean I can't apply WAF policy?

Thanks

  • Hello, 

    WAF Policy is just for Web applications not SIP, FTP, SMTP ...etc. 

    All you can do for SIP:
    - you can use SIP DOS Vectors if you have AFM or DHD "DDoS Hybrid Defender" modules.

    - SIP Inspection profile and you need to have an active subscription to configure and use inspection profiles, look at the following snapshot to know more about inspection:

    that's all for SIP. 

     

    Good luck :)
