Web Application Firewall – WAF
Our WAF is your first layer of defense preventing cybercriminals from hacking your website’s critical data and information.
What if you have a doorkeeper for your website?
If your website is breached, you lose data, horrifying as that. All your data gone. Your user’s data gone. Your expense to get yourself out of this ditch, MASSIVE.
This is exactly what a WAF does… building a fence on the outside of your WordPress borders – monitoring, filtering, and blocking malicious HTTP traffic BEFORE it ever hits your server/site.
25% Faster than the “No1” plugin-based firewall
Unlike many other providers, our WAF is completely free to use with GFWP hosting and is already tuned for WordPress. It’s built in a way to not touch your website performance.
Leading WP plugins for Firewall is 25% slower! Also, many firewalls are not optimised specifically for WP.
Another advantage our WAF has over cloud firewalls is that it’s difficult to prevent attackers from bypassing a cloud firewall completely. As a result, most people skip this crucial step, leaving your site vulnerable
Over 300 highly optimised rules!?
Policies which combine rules logic, parsing and signatures which enables them to detect and prevent a range of application attacks.
Firewall whose learning every day and adding new rules to make sure you truly receive the best protection out there.
Top 10 OWASP attacks
Included as part of our WAFs 300+ ruleset, is protection against common “OWASP” top 10 attacks – including cross-site request forgeries, cross-site-scripting (XSS), file inclusions, SQL injections, and more.
Intelligent app protection is less than a click away
GFWP WAF is automatically enabled on all sites hosted with GFWP, meaning protection is literally less than a click away.
You can also build your own rules in a super duper easy way!
Make rules with block and allowlist settings
Want to upgrade your security even more? Assemble a customized “blocklist” of unwanted IP addresses, or user agents your WAF will automatically block.
Limit false alarms by disabling rules
If any of our in-built WAFs rules trigger false alarms, these can easily be disabled.
You can find specific rule IDs, as well as additional details about the rules in our WAF Log.
WAF Log
GFWP WAF log shows you exactly where attacks are coming from, which requests have been blocked, and what rules those requests triggered. Using this information you can create additional rules to bullet-proof your website even more.
Automatically patch hard-to-detect WP vulnerabilities
GFWP WAF also takes web app security a level further by deploying “virtual patches” to repair WordPress core, plugin, and theme vulnerabilities when required. This means if you’re running an old plugin or theme GFWP waf will make sure it’s fixed to prevent a possible breach.
Compliance – Check!
If your organization processes or stores sensitive information (credit card details etc.), it’s obviously important you comply with security requirements, and standards such as the PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR.
One of these requirements is: “installing and maintaining a firewall configuration to protect cardholder data.” This makes having a WAF valuable from both a compliance, and a security perspective.
It can also give your clients further assurance that they’re fully protected.
Easy additional measures integrated
GFWP Automate solution can often detect and block undiscovered or unfixed vulnerabilities.
The WAF and our Defender plugin can also help ensure that, if you are attacked, the attacker won’t gain anything other than hurting the performance of your site or bringing it down.
