WAF (Web Application Firewall)
from 1 $/month
Why is WAF (Web Application Firewall) an essential accessory for your website?
Our smart web firewall will ensure a robust protection layer against cyberattacks and shield your website from DDoS attacks, hackers, and harmful bots that are overloading it. The firewall is able to promptly react to current cyberthreats because it can safely distinguish whether there is an attack attempt taking place, and in that case, put those requests through a test which can be solved by the browser for the real users, meanwhile denying access to harmful bots. It is a part of our comprehensive cybersecurity service WEDOS Global Protection, so there is no need to install it. Its working environment is provided by our global server infrastructure WEDOS Global, covering all continents (except Antarctica).
Save up to 90% of server performance thanks to traffic filtration and blocking of harmful requests!
We are no. 1 in Europe
The WEDOS Global infrastructure currently covers most of Europe with Points of Presence (PoPs) in more than 120 data centres. We are the only cybersecurity provider worldwide with such robust network of interconnected physical servers on the old continent.
Which cyberthreats will you prevent with our WAF?
Brute force attacks
Brute force attacks are attempts at hacking (usernames and) passwords. The probability of a successful hacking attempt decreases with increased password strength and security. Those attacks still overload the webserver which can lead to website slowdowns or outages.
Attempts at misusing vulnerabilities
Hackers try to uncover and misuse vulnerabilities of websites using bots and automatic scripts in a wide range of cyberattacks. One of the main features of our WAF is to protect these vulnerabilities against attacks and block suspicious and malicious attempts.
Harmful bots collecting personal information
Websites and their visitors generate data on user behaviour on the Internet. Harmful bots aim to collect this data from affected websites for the hacker to be able to trade them. Therefore, they often mask as useful search engine bots and overload affected websites.
SQL Injection (SQLi)
SQL Injection is a type of attack during which the attacker tries to manipulate SQL requests in the text areas of forms on a website to gain unauthorised access to a database, often aiming for a personal data misuse.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
During an attack of the cross-site scripting (XSS) type, the attacker inserts a harmful script into a website that is later opened in browsers of other users which may lead up to personal information leaks or to unauthorised changes on the website.
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
In the event of a cross-site request forgery (CSFR), the attacker takes advantage of an authorised access of another user to make unathorised changes in the name of that user.
A smart layer of security tailored to the needs of your website
Actively reacts to current cybersecurity threats
Our smart cloud firewall can safely distinguish harmful traffic and promptly react to it. Thanks to our traffic analysis of hundreds of thousands websites and 15 years of experience in this field, we are able to respond to attacks in real time.
Careful approach to suspicious requests
In the event of suspicious requests for your website, our firewall will (after detecting them) answer with a test that will deny access to harmful bots but let real users pass through.
Allows the setting of paranoia level
Paranoia level of the WAF serves as a means to set the level of sensitivity and aggressiveness with which the firewall detects and reacts to potentially harmful traffic.
Protects the website against attacks
We will protect your website against DDoS attacks and attempts at personal information theft. The comprehensive and robust WEDOS Global Protection service entails three layers of the reference model (L3, L4, L7). No more slowdowns or outages.
Can absorb a large number of requests at once
By distributing traffic among individual points of presence of the WEDOS Global infrastructure, we are able to decrease the number of requests on the target server, thus preventing its overload. This way, you no longer have to worry about outages or slowdowns in your website’s operation, not even during peaks in website visits because we will distribute the load between several servers.

Improved user experience (UX)
Better user experience, improved user retention, lower bounce rate – all this is connected with smoothly operating, reliable, fast-loading websites. Your SEO score will definitely go up.
Smoothly running website
By distributing the traffic among several different points of presence (PoPs) within our global infrastructure of servers, we are able to reduce the number of requests on the target server, thus preventing it from overloading. So you don’t have to worry about slowdowns or outages of your website, not even in the event of peaks in website visits because we distribute the load among several servers.
Speeded-up loading in all locations
Thanks to our web CDN (Content Delivery Network) and advanced caching within our global network, we can speed up the loading of digital media in all geographical locations. The WEDOS Global network covers all continents (except Antarctica).
Comprehensive and robust protection against cyberthreats
Our WAF, as a part of the WEDOS Global Protection service, contributes to the comprehensive and robust protection against cyberthreats.

Better SEO score and positions in search results
Speeding up the loading of your website can help your SEO in the Core Web Vitals score by Google. Your website will land at better positions in search results and attract more visitors.
How does WEDOS Global Protection work?
Deploying thousands of our own servers around the world
The WEDOS Global network is a global interconnected infrastructure of strategically placed servers, together forming a large private cloud. This decentralised concept covers all continents (except Antarctica). The locations also automatically back each other up.
Getting connectivity from the two largest providers worldwide
We ensure global connectivity by purchasing services from the two largest Internet providers worldwide. Due to attacks, we also have to have at least 300 times more connectivity than what we actually need. So you can stop worrying about not having enough capacity for your global web hosting. We will never limit your hosting, nor prevent it from serving foreign traffic.
Traffic filtration and blocking resolved directly at the source
Thanks to the BGP Anycast technology, we are able to respond to attacks at their points of origin. The filtration and blocking of traffic is therefore more effective when it intervenes directly at the source. Our global coverage of servers will also ensure that we are always close to all potential attackers everywhere.
Protecting your data against hackers’ attacks
We have 15 years of experience with cyberattacks. Our servers face millions of attacks every day. We protect and operate more than 500,000 active services in total. We analyse all traffic and collect data from hundreds of thousands of websites. Thanks to this, we are able to respond to attacks in real time.
