By inspecting HTTP traffic, a WAF can prevent attacks caused from web application security glitches such as cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, SQL injection and multiple security misconfigurations.

Regular firewalls just serve as a safety gate between servers. The Cloudflare Web Application Firewall is able to filter the content of specific web applications. They calls it the “Cloudflare Web Application Firewall” or WAF. I’m here to tell you about Cloudflare’s Firewall protection. Anyways, I’m not here to give a detail of all the services provided by Cloudflare. What people often don’t know is that they provide other much important services too.Ĭloudflare has a large network of distributed domain name servers which they use for CDN and as a reverse proxy between the user’s browser and your server and for many other things too. Cloudflare is the first company that comes to mind when someone thinks of a CDN (content delivery network).
