Web Application Firewall

Tencent Cloud Web Application Firewall (Waf) helps users within and outside Tencent Cloud address security protection issues related to websites and web applications, such as web attacks, intrusions, vulnerability exploitation, malware injection, tampering, backdoors, and crawler threats. By deploying Tencent Cloud Waf, enterprises and organizations can shift the pressure of web attack threats to Tencent Cloud Waf protection cluster nodes, gaining Tencent's web application protection capabilities within minutes, ensuring the secure operation of their websites and web applications. The core advantage of the Cloud WAF Firewall lies in its Website Vulnerability Protection capabilities. Leveraging Tencent's 19 years of security data accumulation and threat intelligence, it can accurately intercept various web attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, and 0-day vulnerability exploitation, while also providing comprehensive protection features including webpage tamper-proofing, data leakage prevention, CC attack protection, and bot behavior management. In terms of WAF Configuration, the Cloud WAF Firewall supports flexible operations such as custom defense rules, geographic blocking, protection mode switching (blocking/observation mode), and one-click integration of advanced protection capabilities, allowing users to quickly adapt to business scenarios without complex deployment. The WAF Pricing adopts an annual or monthly prepaid subscription model, meeting the cost control needs of enterprises of different scales and enabling them to balance security and cost-effectiveness while enjoying comprehensive protection from the Web Application Firewall. Whether for internet-based businesses, e-commerce O2O sites, or public service websites, the Web Application Firewall safeguards business data security and access stability through precise Website Vulnerability Protection capabilities and personalized WAF Configuration.

Q: What core measures does the Web Application Firewall (Cloud WAF Firewall) employ for Website Vulnerability Protection, and how does WAF Configuration help enhance protection accuracy?

A: The Web Application Firewall (Cloud WAF Firewall) employs two core measures for Website Vulnerability Protection: First, leveraging Tencent's top-tier threat intelligence and professional security teams, it monitors high-risk web vulnerabilities and 0-day vulnerabilities 24/7, updating protection patches for high-risk vulnerabilities within 12 hours and for general vulnerabilities within 24 hours. Protection policies are automatically synchronized and deployed via the cloud, enabling users to gain Website Vulnerability Protection capabilities without manual intervention. Second, for common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and command injection, it accurately blocks attacks through built-in protection rules and AI behavior analysis. WAF Configuration is key to enhancing protection accuracy. Users can customize defense rules through WAF Configuration, enabling fine-grained control over access behaviors based on IP addresses, URL paths, POST parameters, and other criteria. They can also set up geographic blocking and switch protection modes, ensuring that the Website Vulnerability Protection capabilities of the Web Application Firewall align closely with their specific business scenarios. Additionally, the configuration operations for the Cloud WAF Firewall are straightforward, requiring no additional hardware deployment, which significantly reduces operational costs. Furthermore, the WAF Pricing adopts an annual or monthly subscription model, allowing users with different configuration needs to choose suitable versions that balance protection effectiveness and cost.

Q: What is the billing model for WAF Pricing, and how can enterprises of different scales balance protection needs and costs through WAF Configuration when selecting a Web Application Firewall?

A: The WAF Pricing for the Web Application Firewall (Cloud WAF Firewall) adopts an annual or monthly prepaid subscription model. Users can select the corresponding version based on their business scale and protection requirements. For small and medium-sized enterprises, basic WAF Configuration can meet core Website Vulnerability Protection needs. For example, enabling default protection rules to block common web attacks and activating basic CC attack protection can provide fundamental security without complex configuration, while also controlling WAF Pricing costs. For large enterprises or scenarios with high-security demands, advanced WAF Configuration can be implemented to enhance protection. This includes custom bot behavior recognition rules, enabling data leakage prevention policies, and one-click integration of high-level DDoS protection capabilities, ensuring comprehensive coverage by the Web Application Firewall. Regardless of the configuration chosen, the Cloud WAF Firewall ensures core Website Vulnerability Protection capabilities. Moreover, WAF Configuration supports flexible adjustments, allowing enterprises to dynamically optimize configurations as their business grows, avoiding excessive investment while ensuring that the Web Application Firewall consistently meets their security needs.

Q: Does the WAF Configuration of the Cloud WAF Firewall support personalized adjustments, and how do these configurations synergize with the Website Vulnerability Protection capabilities of the Web Application Firewall?

A: The WAF Configuration of the Cloud WAF Firewall supports highly personalized adjustments. Core configuration features include custom defense rules, protection mode settings, geographic blocking, and bot behavior management policies. These configurations synergize deeply with the Website Vulnerability Protection capabilities of the Web Application Firewall. For example, for customized vulnerability risks specific to certain businesses, users can add exclusive protection rules through WAF Configuration to precisely block targeted attacks, addressing coverage gaps in general protection rules. During peak business periods, users can activate "blocking mode" via WAF Configuration to strengthen Website Vulnerability Protection, and switch to "observation mode" during off-peak hours to reduce false positives, balancing security and business continuity. For websites that serve only specific regions, geographic blocking configurations can be used to block access from high-risk areas, reducing the pressure on Website Vulnerability Protection at the source. Additionally, configuring the Web Application Firewall requires no specialized technical expertise, as the intuitive visual interface allows enterprises to get started quickly. The annual or monthly subscription model of WAF Pricing also provides cost assurance for flexible configuration adjustments, ensuring that the protection capabilities of the Cloud WAF Firewall always align with business needs.
