Cloudflare Web Application Firewall and Security Protection
Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall (WAF) provides intelligent security layer that filters malicious HTTP traffic through real-time threat detection, customisable security rules, and comprehensive protection against OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities for robust web application security.
WAF implementation includes threat analysis, rule customisation, and security monitoring that protects web applications while maintaining legitimate user access and ensuring comprehensive security coverage against evolving cyber threats.
Real-Time Threat Detection and Analysis
Advanced threat detection includes machine learning algorithms, pattern recognition, and real-time analysis that identifies malicious traffic while distinguishing between legitimate users and potential security threats for effective protection.
Intelligent Traffic Filtering and Security Rules
Traffic filtering includes automated threat detection, rule-based blocking, and intelligent analysis that prevents malicious requests while ensuring legitimate traffic maintains normal website access and functionality.
Security rules include customisable filtering, threat-specific blocks, and intelligent detection that adapts to evolving security threats while maintaining optimal website performance and user experience.
