Please have one of the team that failed to protect vBulletin with the UTM's WAF explain why it doesn't work

BAlfson

We've been told that this was attempted, but that it failed.  What do I need to do to protect my clients? Should I tell them to stop trusting the UTM's reverse proxy to protect their servers?

Certainly, a professional team would have documented their work, if only to prove to their superiors that they weren't malingerers.  We, as customers and partners, need to understand what, specifically, was attempted and what, specifically, failed to remove the risk.

It's really that simple - either the UTM should have been deployed to protect our community using vBulletin on astaro.org or the WAF is not effective.

Which is it?

Cheers - Bob

    Hi Bob,

    For the record when we spoke I didn't say that.  You suggested it as an option and I forwarded that suggestion to the our IT team for consideration.  They chose not to go that way.  I will try to find out more about why it wasn't chosen but we need to be clear: it didn't fail - no attempt was made.
