    Collect Fastly Next-Gen WAF (powered by Signal Sciences) logs

    Parser Version:1.0

    Supported in:

    This document explains how to ingest Fastly Next-Gen WAF (powered by Signal Sciences) logs to Google Security Operations using Google Cloud Storage V2.

    Fastly Next-Gen WAF (powered by Signal Sciences) is a cloud-based web application firewall that provides real-time threat detection and blocking for web applications, APIs, and microservices. It uses a signal-based approach to identify and mitigate attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, account takeover, and application abuse. The Signal Sciences REST API provides programmatic access to request feed data, which contains detailed information about flagged and blocked requests.

    Before you begin

    Make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

    • A Google SecOps instance
    • A GCP project with Cloud Storage API enabled
    • Permissions to create and manage GCS buckets
    • Permissions to manage IAM policies on GCS buckets
    • Permissions to create Cloud Run services, Pub/Sub topics, and Cloud Scheduler jobs
    • Privileged access to the Fastly Next-Gen WAF dashboard with API access permissions
    • A Fastly Next-Gen WAF account with a corp name and at least one site configured

    Create Google Cloud Storage bucket

    1. Go to the Google Cloud Console .
    2. Select your project or create a new one.
    3. In the navigation menu, go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
    4. Click Create bucket.

    5. Provide the following configuration details:

      Setting Value
      Name your bucket Enter a globally unique name (for example, fastly-waf-logs )
      Location type Choose based on your needs (Region, Dual-region, Multi-region)
      Location Select the location (for example, us-central1 )
      Storage class Standard (recommended for frequently accessed logs)
      Access control Uniform (recommended)
      Protection tools Optional: Enable object versioning or retention policy

    6. Click Create.

    Collect Fastly Next-Gen WAF API credentials

    Get API access token

    1. Sign in to the Fastly Next-Gen WAF dashboard .
    2. From the My Profilemenu, select API access tokens.
    3. Click Add API access token.
    4. In the Token namefield, enter a name to identify the token (for example, SIEM Integration ).
    5. Click Create API access token.

    6. Copy and save the following details in a secure location:

      • API token: The generated token value (shown only once)
      • Email address: Your account email address used for authentication

    Get corp and site names

    1. Sign in to the Fastly Next-Gen WAF dashboard .
    2. Click Manage > Corp > Corp Overview.
    3. Note the Corp short namedisplayed on the page (for example, my_corp ).
    4. Go to Manage > Sites.
    5. Note the Site short namefor the site you want to collect logs from (for example, my_site ).

    Verify permissions

    To verify the account has the required permissions:

    1. Sign in to the Fastly Next-Gen WAF dashboard .
    2. From the Corp Managemenu, select Corp Users.
    3. Find your user account in the list.
    4. Verify that your role is Admin, Owner, or Observer. These roles have the required API access to retrieve request feed data.

    5. If your role does not have API access, contact your Fastly Next-Gen WAF administrator to grant the appropriate role.

    Test API access

    • Test your credentials before proceeding with the integration:

        # Replace with your actual credentials 
 SIGSCI_EMAIL 
 = 
 "your-email@example.com" 
 SIGSCI_TOKEN 
 = 
 "your-api-token" 
 SIGSCI_CORP 
 = 
 "your-corp-name" 
 SIGSCI_SITE 
 = 
 "your-site-name" 
 # Test API access - get site overview 
curl  
-v  
 \ 
  
-H  
 "x-api-user: 
 ${ 
 SIGSCI_EMAIL 
 } 
 " 
  
 \ 
  
-H  
 "x-api-token: 
 ${ 
 SIGSCI_TOKEN 
 } 
 " 
  
 \ 
  
 "https://dashboard.signalsciences.net/api/v0/corps/ 
 ${ 
 SIGSCI_CORP 
 } 
 /sites/ 
 ${ 
 SIGSCI_SITE 
 } 
 "

    The Cloud Run function needs a service account with permissions to write to GCS bucket and be invoked by Pub/Sub.

    1. In the GCP Console, go to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts.
    2. Click Create Service Account.
    3. Provide the following configuration details:

    2. Click Create Job.

    3. Provide the following configuration details:

      Setting Value
      Name fastly-waf-collector-hourly
      Region Select same region as Cloud Run function
      Frequency 0 * * * * (every hour, on the hour)
      Timezone Select timezone (UTC recommended)
      Target type Pub/Sub
      Topic Select the topic fastly-waf-logs-trigger
      Message body {} (empty JSON object)

    4. Click Create.

    Schedule frequency options

    Choose frequency based on log volume and latency requirements:

    Frequency Cron Expression Use Case
