Webinar Held on 'WAF Demand Surges Due to IPA "Top 10 Threats 2026", Reseller's Hurdle is "Operation"'

■IPA "Top 10 Threats 2026" Highlights the Need for "Operable Web Security Measures"
In the "Top 10 Information Security Threats 2026 (Organizations)" published by IPA, risks directly impacting business continuity, such as "attacks exploiting system vulnerabilities" and "DDoS attacks," are listed among the top threats, alongside ransomware and supply chain attacks. As long as websites/web applications are exposed externally, they can be targets of attacks regardless of industry or scale. Therefore, it is necessary to address the increasing inquiries from customers saying, "We want to protect with WAF" or "We want to strengthen web entry point security." For this reason, proposers are required to explain and provide solutions that include not just "implementation," but also "continuous protection."

■WAF Can Be Proposed, But Operational Burden Becomes a Barrier to Project Realization
On the other hand, the bottleneck on the ground is not the WAF itself, but its operation after implementation. If continuous tasks such as initial setup, rule design, tuning, exception handling, false positive management, and log checking cannot be anticipated, SIers/resellers tend to halt proposals for reasons like "we can propose, but can't handle the operation," "we're afraid of incidents," or "customers can't manage it, making it just an 'installation'." As a result, despite the recognized necessity, "postponing due to heavy operational burden" accumulates, leading to a situation where WAF demand cannot be met.

■This Seminar Will Materialize a "Proposal Model" That Entrusts Operations
This seminar will first clarify how to understand web threats based on IPA's "Top 10 Threats 2026," and then explain how to design WAF proposals to overcome common sticking points (setup, tuning, false positive handling) and achieve a state where "proposals include operation." Additionally, using Barracuda Managed WAF, which allows these operations to be entrusted to a specialized team, as an example, the seminar will specifically introduce the scope that should be explained during proposals, common pitfalls after implementation, and methods to maintain defense levels while reducing operational burden. SIers/resellers who want to switch from one-off sales to "proposals that include successful operation" amidst increasing WAF demand are encouraged to participate.
