Understanding Testing Infrastructure

Details of the Testing Infrastructure utilized by the watchTowr Platform.

During your subscription period or proof-of-value, in-scope entities and systems are expected to receive network traffic from the watchTowr Platform, and artifacts of watchTowr's testing mechanisms may exist within logs.

Allowlist Information

While allowlisting in WAFs, IDSs, IPSs, and firewalls is not required, please ensure that the watchTowr Platform's activity and infrastructure are communicated to all necessary stakeholders, including the SOC, MSSP, in-scope subsidiaries, and any relevant third parties.

It is highly recommended that watchTowr's source IP addresses be allowlisted and filtered in network defense devices and monitoring systems. Allowlisting watchTowr's IP addresses helps ensure the following.

  • watchTowr security testing probes are not blocked.

  • watchTowr activity does not trigger false alarms or alerts in SOCs, MSSPs, etc.

  • All alerts and activities can be attributed to authorized actions.

The Allowlist column indicates whether an IP address should be allowlisted.
