@the_rock - I have not seen something like this. They can create an Infinity Portal account and onboard a test asset. 

Check Point Infinity Portal

Something that is similar would be to run through the NGINX Proxy Manager managed from open-appsec Web UI Playground --> Playground | open-appsec

Hey @Bryan-Smith 

I was more thinking something like below, thats publicly available, mind you they dont even let people run regular fw commands here, like you could have before.

Do we have direct integration of our CGWAF to our XDR dashboard?

[Bryan-Smith]

@MarioNuggets - Yes. See Events.

Thanks mate! It seems the logs from WAF just forwarded to infinity events in which our XDR is also using. Am I correct?
