VAPT or APT tools scan prevention

Hello 


When the security team starts Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) or Application Security Testing (APT) on a web application, then it can go and test those web pages that only registered users can browse. Is there any way I can block this with Big-IP. 

Sorry if my question is silly.

    Hi RockBD ,

    Thanks for dropping this question and I assure that this question is definitely not silly. Anyway, can I know what module of the BIG-IP that you are using and which version is it running on?

    Cheers,
    Mo.

      I am sure which module you're talking about. We are using WAF and Big-IP 17.1.1.4 build 0.14.9.

    Hey RockBD ,

    Thanks for your response. Can I clarify that you want to block VAPT scans from scanning browsers that your registered users can access to?

      I want to block unregistered user access from outside world to my web systems. outside access can be VAPT scans or other for unregister users.
