Cloudflare WAF
Protect applications with intelligent and scalable security

From firewall based protection to a zero trust framework
Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF) delivers intelligent, cloud-native protection that blocks malicious traffic in real-time, defending your applications from SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), bot attacks, and other threats, all without compromising performance.
Built on Cloudflare’s global network spanning 300+ cities, the WAF provides scalable, always-on security that adapts to evolving threats and ensures a seamless user experience. Sitting in front of your web applications, Cloudflare WAF proactively stops a wide range of attacks using powerful rulesets, advanced rate limiting, exposed credential checks, uploaded content scanning, and other cutting-edge security measures.
Ensure application protections are part of a broader and unified security posture
Modern business applications power your daily operations and drive growth. At the same time, every transaction or login can become a doorway for cyber threats. Attackers continuously search for vulnerabilities, using advanced techniques to exploit zero-day flaws, bypass defenses with clever evasion tactics, and target weak passwords that may lead to account takeovers or data breaches. They also try to inject malware and steal valuable data, putting your entire digital ecosystem at risk.
This is why a comprehensive security strategy is essential. Your protection should extend beyond just the application itself to cover APIs, client interfaces, and even the network layers that support them. With a unified approach, you can stop bots, reduce the risk of credential stuffing, and monitor for suspicious activities all without overwhelming your team with complex management tasks. This holistic method not only shields your critical assets but also allows you to focus on growing your business confidently.
