1. A computer-implemented method for configuring a web application firewall (WAF), the method comprising:
continuously receiving requests related to a first WAF, each request indicative of network traffic directed to a web application protected by the first WAF;
enriching each received request by associating each received request with information from an enrichment source;
periodically analyzing the enriched requests;
generating at least one network traffic rule based on the periodic analysis; and
configuring at least a second WAF, that is not the first WAF, to perform the at least one network traffic rule each time when one of the at least one network traffic rule is generated.
