ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your organization's public e-commerce site is fronted by a reverse-proxy web application firewall (WAF). Security logs reveal thousands of HTTP GET requests that include the string ' OR 1=1 -- in form parameters, all originating from one IP address. Management asks for an immediate mitigation that blocks these attacks while minimizing the chance of affecting legitimate shoppers. Which WAF action best meets this requirement?

  • Require a CAPTCHA challenge for every request to the application's login endpoint.

  • Block all traffic associated with the attacker's autonomous system number in the WAF's IP reputation list.

  • Create a rate-based rule that denies any IP address sending more than a set number of requests per minute.

  • Enable the WAF's built-in SQL injection inspection rule set to detect and block requests containing SQL injection payloads.
