In today’s cyber threat landscape, speed is important. The moment a new application vulnerability is disclosed, the clock starts ticking. Attackers, armed with AI tools and access to public exploits, often begin testing and executing attacks within minutes. For security teams, the response has traditionally been much slower: wait for a patch, validate it in testing, and hope that generic Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules buy enough time.

This lag has created a gaping window of risk between disclosure and protection, a window Miggo Security intends to slam shut.

On August 4, 2025, Miggo announced the launch of Miggo WAF Copilot, a transformative product that gives existing WAFs a serious upgrade. By automating vulnerability response and embedding real application context into every action, Miggo WAF Copilot promises to protect live applications seconds after disclosure, cutting down exposure time by more than 90%.

The Old WAF Problem

The traditional WAF model is fundamentally broken for today’s high-speed threat landscape. Generic rules, slow manual processes, and a lack of application-specific context leave security teams stuck in a reactive cycle. Even as they see the threat unfold, they’re often unable to act until code-level fixes arrive, which can take days or weeks.

“WAFs are powerful tools, and they must evolve to match the speed and complexity of today’s AI-driven threats,” said Daniel Shechter, CEO and Co-founder of Miggo Security. “Miggo WAF Copilot transforms the traditional WAF technology so that security teams can easily maximize their WAF to be a super-effective, proactive and powerful mitigative control.”

Built Like a Researcher, Acts Like a Copilot

Miggo WAF Copilot adds automation and brings intelligence modeled after elite human analysts. Once a vulnerability is detected (either publicly or internally), the system activates instantly or on demand, pulling from code repositories, exploit databases, and threat intel feeds to understand the vulnerability’s behavior.

It runs simulated payloads, analyzes the root cause, and generates multiple variants to test potential exploit vectors. From there, Miggo crafts a surgical WAF rule tailored to the threat and runs it in log mode to validate that no legitimate traffic is blocked. Once the rule proves effective, a single click activates full protection.

Importantly, the system doesn’t stop there. It continuously re-validates against new intel, recommends updates when needed, and removes protections once the vulnerability is remediated at the code level. This full lifecycle management means teams can finally deploy protection that is both dynamic and precise.

Fast, Seamless, and Platform-Agnostic

While many security solutions require complex integrations or disruptive architecture changes, Miggo WAF Copilot was designed to fit directly into existing ecosystems. It supports deployment across major platforms including Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, GCP, Akamai, F5, Fortinet, and Imperva.

That compatibility turns WAFs from reactive shields into proactive enforcers—with no rip-and-replace, no delays, and no guesswork.

“Miggo WAF Copilot delivers unmatched precision,” said Itai Goldman, Co-Founder and CTO at Miggo Security. “It doesn’t just block broad attack patterns — it neutralizes the exact threat, keeping uptime and performance intact. It’s faster, cleaner, and finally built for the speed today’s security teams require.”

Toward a Smarter WAF Future

The implications are significant. By reducing exposure windows, minimizing false positives, and automating the WAF rule lifecycle, Miggo WAF Copilot not only reduces operational burden—it gives security teams time back, clarity of action, and confidence under pressure.

The launch signals a broader shift: from reactive security playbooks to intelligent, context-driven protection that responds as fast as the threat evolves.

Miggo WAF Copilot is now available for organizations looking to bridge the gap between knowing and acting.
