Why you need Cloudbric WAF

Cloudbric WAF acts as a firewall to shield your website and website applications (like WordPress and Joomla) against hackers. It guards against suspicious and malicious website traffic that specifically looks for opportunities to exploit weaknesses in your website’s code.

How Cloudbric WAF works

There could be weak code in your web design or web applications that make your website vulnerable to exploitation. Cloudbric WAF keeps an active list of the exploitative attempts made by hackers and permanently blocks them. The hacking commands are added to a blacklist within hours of the discovery.

Cloudbric WAF protects your site in three different ways:

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

All traffic to your website is routed through the WAF. Any malicious traffic is detected and blocked, while legitimate traffic is unaffected.

Website-level DDoS Protection

DDoS attacks can exhaust your website resources, making your website inaccessible to visitors. Cloudbric WAF blocks these attempts.

Blocking specific countries and IP ranges

Cloudbric WAF dashboard allows you to block visitors from specific countries or IP addresses from accessing your website.

Frequently asked questions

We ensure that our servers and network are free from security threats. Cloudbric WAF offers website level security, which is a specialised service.

A web application firewall (or WAF) filters, monitors, and blocks website traffic to and from a website. A WAF is differentiated from a regular firewall in that a WAF is able to filter the content of specific websites, like WordPress or Joomla. By inspecting website traffic, it can prevent attacks stemming from website security flaws, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), file inclusion, and security misconfigurations.

While a Web Application Firewall is a proactive security solution that can prevent you from getting into trouble, you should check if your website is already infected. If you weren’t previously using a solution similar to Cloudbric WAF, your website could have already been compromised. Cloudbric WAF focuses on protection and prevention and not the cleaning of already compromised websites. You can have it cleaned by a reputable website developer or website cleaning service.

It’s not a comparison – a cloud-based Web Application Firewall is very different to an endpoint protection service such as a security plugin for your CMS. While there may be some overlap in the protection offered, it is a good idea from a security perspective to have both installed. Security plugins often offer malware detection and removal, which is not what cloud-based WAFs are intended for.

If your Cloudbric WAF protected domain has a parked domain, it is highly recommended that you secure your parked domain(s) via an .htaccess redirect. The redirect will reroute all traffic from your parked domain(s) to your main domain. This will change the web address (URL) in the browser to that of your main domain.
