The list of threats to websites and internet-facing applications continues to grow. To steal data, malicious hackers are targeting web servers and internet-connected endpoints. Blocking harmful incoming web traffic with a powerful web application firewall (WAF) is one mitigation to protect your business from harmful incoming web traffic. The WAF market is clearly shifting toward an edge security platform approach that combines a variety of protections tailored for distributed hybrid and multi cloud environments.
A Web Application Firewall, or WAFs, protects against an ever-growing number of sophisticated web-based incursions and attacks that target web server programs and the sensitive or confidential data they have access to. A WAF filters and monitors HTTP traffic between a web application and the Internet. It typically protects web applications from attacks such as cross-site forgery, cross-site-scripting (XSS), file inclusion, and SQL injection, among others.
Every request to the WAF is compared against the rule engine and threat intelligence gathered from millions of websites being protected. Suspicious requests can be stopped, disputed, or logged according to the user's needs, while genuine requests are sent to the destination, whether on-premises or in the cloud.
Protect your website from SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS) and zero-day attacks, including OWASP-identified vulnerabilities and threats targeting the application layer.
Layered defense against DDoS, data compromise, and malicious bots that is fast, easy to deploy, and scalable. Benefit from cloud deployment without any extra hardware or software installation.
Prevent sensitive data of stolen or hacked devices from being exposed by blocking traffic. Stop data leaks by disabling malicious IPs from abusing your APIs and preventing invalid requests.
Integrated WAF solution that keeps your applications and APIs secure and productive, thwarts DDoS attacks, keeps bots at bay, detects anomalies and malicious attackers, all while monitoring for browser supply chain attacks.
Our WAF sits on the same global network as our performance product suite and seamlessly integrates with DDoS protection, Bot Management, CDN, Load Balancer, Smart Routing and more. Tight integration between products enables enhanced performance, as compared to legacy WAF solutions.
Rich API integration with popular toolsets allows easy configuration, customizable analytics and direct plug-ins for existing SIEM infrastructure. Examples include Terraform, GraphQL Splunk, SumoLogic, Datadog and more.
Our engineering team leverages Cloudflare’s proprietary threat intelligence to update Managed Rulesets regularly. This allows us to continuously improve accuracy, lower false positives and provide comprehensive coverage to protect against zero-day vulnerabilities.
The global WAF distributed network and built-in automated threat risk scoring algorithms enable the system to curate a proprietary threat score by evaluating 1B+ IPs and analyzing digital signatures, every day.
Firewall Rules allow customers to create custom rules for their specific needs directly from the dashboard. The rules engine supports a number of functions, operators and transformations; IP, geo-location, user-agent, OWASP Top-10, and more.
WAF solutions leverage the power and scalability of massive edge networks with globally distributed points of presence to ensure minimum latency and maximum coverage. WAF quickly isolates endpoints from incoming threats.
Cloud-based WAF blocks malicious traffic long before it reaches your network and serves as a security perimeter outside of internal or cloud infrastructure, helping to keep malicious traffic a safe distance from the application and data servers.

Cloud-based WAFs offer the highest level of web application security without requiring a significant upfront investment in resources or recurring costs for maintenance, hardware replacement, or software upgrades.
WAF is simple to set up and use to protect apps. There is no need to install additional software, configure DNS, handle SSL/TLS certificates, or set up a reverse proxy. Define and maintain rules in one place, then reuse them across all of the online applications that need to be secured.
Hundreds of rules are supported by WAF, which may check any element of a web request with minimal latency impact on incoming traffic. When problems occur, WAF rule propagation and modifications take less than a minute, allowing immediate security updates.
To prevent a Zero-day exploit, WAFs are an important component of layered security architecture. WAFs help patch the vulnerability virtually and protect your infrastructure until the vendor releases a patch or you can patch the code properly yourself.
Start quickly and defend your web application or APIs against typical risks. WAF protects against the most frequent sorts of hacking attempts and uses caching technologies to improve site speed and performance.
Managed rulesets provide better safety by continuously studying distinctive data and IP repute on the web. Automated mitigations based on fingerprinting network flows and HTTP attack traffic detect and prevent attacks before they cause any damage.
WAF provides near-real-time insight into your web traffic, allowing you to control how metrics are emitted and monitor everything from individual rules to the full inbound traffic. WAF also includes robust logging, which records data for use in security automation, analytics, and audits.
When providing Web Application Firewall services, we use the concept of providing comprehensive application security from the same cloud network for a consistent and effective security posture. As PurpleBox Security, our assessments provide useful and actionable information about identified vulnerabilities, projected business impact, and remediation steps.
