01 — Overview

Stop attacks before they reach your site

Web Application Firewall (WAF) sits in front of your website or web app and blocks malicious traffic before it ever reaches you. It stops common attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), hacking attempts and traffic floods.

WAF uses dual AI-and-rules engines to detect threats accurately, and can patch brand-new 'zero-day' vulnerabilities in as little as two hours — often before official fixes are available. It's offered in 25 regions with a 99.95% uptime SLA. DDS sets it up on Huawei Cloud and tunes the policies for your site.

05 — FAQ

WAF, answered

Do I need WAF if I already have a password and SSL?

Yes. Passwords and SSL don't stop attacks like SQL injection or XSS — WAF is a dedicated layer for those.

What is a zero-day vulnerability?

It's a brand-new security flaw attackers can exploit before an official fix exists. WAF protects you in the meantime with virtual patches.

Will it slow my website?

No meaningful impact — WAF is built for high performance and high traffic volumes.

Which threats does it cover?

The OWASP Top 10 and more — SQL injection, XSS, command/code injection, web shells, web tampering, CC floods and malicious bots.

How much does it cost?

Monthly editions: Standard $615, Professional $1,560 and Platinum $4,730 — higher tiers cover more domains and traffic.
