Cognos Configuration allows you configure the properties to enable Cognos Application Firewall (CAF). From within Cognos Configuration it is found under the Security section. This will help to provide protection against penetration vulnerabilities, and it acts as a smart proxy for the Cognos product gateways and dispatchers. It works to help prevent the C8 environment from processing malicious data.
Some of the security features of the CAF include: data validation and protection; logging and monitoring; and output protection. The setting for the Cognos Application Firewall is enabled by default.
