Abstract
A computer-implemented method for dynamically varying web application firewall security processes based on cache hit results may include (i) identifying, at a computing device, a request directed to a web application resource protected by the computing device, (ii) determining, in response to identifying the request, whether a response to the request will be served from a cache stored on the computing device, (iii) determining, based at least in part on whether the response to the request will be served from the cache, a level of security processing to apply to the request, and (iv) applying the determined level of security processing to the request. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
