Web Application Firewall (UWAF)
UWAF serves as the sole gateway between client requests and web applications, controlling (allowing, denying, or monitoring) the flow of information in and out of your network according to your enterprise's policies. It is built with strong anti-attack capabilities. Logically, UWAF acts as a separator, a restrictor, and an analyzer — effectively monitoring all activity between applications and the internet to ensure the security of internal systems.

Product Value

  • Security Protection
    Security Protection

    WAF's virtual patching enables rapid real-time protection and response against vulnerabilities.

  • Origin Server Protection
    Origin Server Protection

    Conceals the real origin server to make your website invisible, preventing exposure of the real IP address to hacker attacks.

  • Access Source Control
    Access Source Control

    Through security access control, only WAF IPs are allowed to reach the origin server — all other direct access attempts are blocked, defending against targeted attacks on the origin server IP.

Product Advantages

  • Low LatencyLow Latency

    BGP-based line access ensures stable quality with millisecond-level response latency.

  • Self-Improving Rule SystemSelf-Improving Rule System

    Powered by machine learning, the intelligent detection engine has excellent generalization and automatic learning capabilities. It integrates organically with the rule system to provide stronger security assurance for customer websites.

  • Automated Elastic ScalingAutomated Elastic Scaling

    Equipped with automated elastic scaling capabilities backed by public cloud resource pools, UWAF can rapidly scale its own services during CC attacks or sudden traffic spikes — eliminating performance bottlenecks.

  • Collaborative DefenseCollaborative Defense

    Powerful cloud-based threat intelligence collection, combined with intelligence from other security vendors, allows UWAF to filter massive volumes of malicious traffic using its intelligence database.

  • Rich Rule SupportRich Rule Support

    Based on deep traffic content analysis, UWAF supports customized rule configurations for different business fields, including secondary analysis of field content such as geolocation lookups, automatic malicious IP blocking, CC policies, and custom interception pages.

  • 24/7 Expert Support24/7 Expert Support

    All UWAF users enjoy free 24/7 expert support. For complex attacks where automated systems or algorithms cannot make precise judgments, security experts can step in to analyze the situation and provide targeted defensive measures.

Product Features

  • Web Application Attack Protection
    Web Application Attack Protection

    Comprehensive protection against all major web attack types, including SQL injection, XSS cross-site scripting, WebShell uploads, command injection, illegal HTTP protocol requests, common web server vulnerability exploits, unauthorized access to core files, path traversal, and more. Also provides backdoor isolation and scan protection.

  • Precise Access Control Rules
    Precise Access Control Rules

    Supports conditional combinations of common HTTP fields such as IP, URL, Referer, and User-Agent to build powerful precise access control policies. Also supports anti-hotlinking and website backend protection. Works in conjunction with web attack protection, CC protection, and other security modules to create a multi-layered defense that distinguishes trusted from malicious traffic.

  • Malicious CC Attack Protection
    Malicious CC Attack Protection

    Controls access frequency from individual source IPs and supports redirect verification and CAPTCHA challenges. For large-scale slow-request attacks, UWAF analyzes response code distributions, URL request patterns, and abnormal Referer and User-Agent characteristics, combined with precise access control for comprehensive protection.

  • Alert Management
    Alert Management

    Flexible alerting mechanism that can send scheduled alerts for UWAF-associated domains, as well as real-time alerts for events such as a large number of rules triggered in a short time, abnormal origin server responses, or anomalous request-response patterns (e.g., overall requests with status codes above 499 exceeding 30%) — all delivered to users' inboxes to promptly notify them of risks.
