- F5 ASM Essential Plan - HTML / Website OWASP Protection
Service Introduction
The Essential HTML plan provides baseline protection for web applications by maintaining ASM signatures, enforcing basic compliance, and monitoring attack trends. With a 6-week review cycle, it suits organisations running relatively static websites or apps that require dependable WAF protection but minimal policy changes. You get core features like protocol enforcement, illegal response blocking, and basic parameter handling, ensuring your apps stay covered against OWASP Top 10 risks without needing constant admin input.
Challanges Solved
Web application firewalls often give a false sense of security. Without regular tuning, policies become stale, missing new evasion techniques and generating noisy false positives that frustrate users and devs alike. Parameters go unvalidated, bot activity slips through, and outdated file or URL controls quietly introduce risk. Many businesses don’t realise that 'default protection' leaves critical gaps, especially as their app evolves with new features, endpoints, or third-party integrations.
