Cloudflare’s enterprise-class web application firewall (WAF) protects Internet property from common vulnerabilities like SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting, and cross-site forgery requests with no changes to the existing infrastructure.
Cloudflare’s WAF helps users stay ahead of threats by automatically updating when new security vulnerabilities are released. Rules created by Cloudflare in response to new threats are responsible for mitigating the vast majority of threats on Cloudflare network. While traditional OWASP rules and customer specific rules are important, they are not enough without Cloudflare's automatic WAF updates.
Cloudflare offers a single source of control for the security of websites, applications, and APIs, hosted across multiple cloud environments. Multi-cloud security provides visibility into security events, while allowing for consistent security controls, across all clouds in which Internet assets are deployed. Any attack traffic seen by Cloudflare is recorded and analyzed. Cloudflare’s network then shields Internet assets across all cloud providers.
Cloudflare’s WAF protects web properties from the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities by default. These OWASP rules are supplemented by 148 built-in WAF rules that can be applied with the click of a button. Business and Enterprise customers can also request custom WAF rules to filter out specific attack traffic.
Cloudflare’s layered security approach combines multiple security practices into one service. It prevents disruptions caused by bad bots, while allowing the good bots, such as Google web crawlers through, keeping Internet assets highly available, protected, and performant.
Cloudflare WAF also includes an IP firewall that lets users whitelist or blacklist traffic based on IP address, IP ranges, Autonomous System Number (ASN), or country (including Tor).
