To aid in protecting our infrastructure we are in the process of rolling out a highly sophisticated WAF (Web Application Firewall) solution across our web hosting sever fleet.
A WAF aims to provide web hosting protection from malicious requests and payloads; intercepting them before they can even reach your website.
Our hosting WAF will help defend against:
- Known script vulnerabilities
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) exploits
- Common SQL injection methods
- Website malware injection & distribution
- Common script brute-forcing
- Malicious website requests & payloads
- Emerging threats to hosting infrastructure
- General website hack attempts
- Known viral fingerprints
The hosting WAF implementation is just another tool in our arsenal; a sign of our 100% commitment to provide a secure web hosting platform that you and your business can count on.
The Optic Empire WAF protects all web hosting accounts; a solution normally only available on high end, enterprise level hosting solutions.
