Virtual Patching Cheat Sheet — Testing Steps

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Implement virtual patches initially in a "Log Only" configuration to ensure that you do not block any normal user traffic (false positives). If the vulnerability was identified by a specific tool or assessment team - request a retest. If retesting fails due to evasions, then you must go back to the Analysis phase to identify how to better fix the issue. Attribution: Adapted from OWASP Cheat Sheet Series under CC-BY-SA-4.0.
