How WAF-FW protects you
The same threats hit every site on the internet. Here is what WAF-FW stops before it ever reaches you.
Blocked exploit attempts
Every request is inspected in real time. Injection attempts, path traversal and other malicious payloads are recognised and stopped at the edge, so they never touch your application or your data. Legitimate visitors are never slowed down.
Filtered bad bots and scrapers
Automated abuse is a constant. WAF-FW tells real people apart from bad bots and quietly turns away credential stuffing, content scraping and fake signups, while your genuine customers pass straight through without a challenge.
Absorbed traffic floods
When a flood of requests hits, WAF-FW soaks it up in front of your site. Abuse spikes and denial-of-service attempts are absorbed before they reach your origin, so your pages keep loading for real customers even under pressure.
