Managed WAF Service

As Public Cloud adoption continues to grow rapidly, more than 80% of systems deployed are web-based making them an increasingly attractive target for cyberattacks. From online stores and membership systems to application APIs, all are at risk of being exploited by hackers seeking to steal personal data or disrupt services, causing serious damage to your business reputation.

Managed WAF Service is a Web Application Firewall solution fully managed by Nipa Cloud — covering WAF rule management, HTTP status monitoring, and more. Operated through the Cloudflare Dashboard, this service requires no hardware installation, no in-house security expertise, and no worry about keeping rules up to date.

This service is built on Cloudflare for SaaS, a standard that supports Web Application Firewall delivery across multiple shared domains or dedicated domains. It is ideal for customers running websites on Compute Instances within Nipa Cloud Space, providing enhanced security configured in accordance with the OWASP Top 10 and beyond. Additional benefits include CDN and caching for faster page load times, as well as in-depth website analytics accessible directly through the Cloudflare Dashboard.

The Managed WAF service acts as the first line of defense between your users and your website. Every incoming request is inspected against predefined WAF rules to ensure it meets security standards. Only traffic that passes inspection is forwarded to your website or application running on the Origin Server ensuring that only clean, verified requests ever reach your system.

1. User (Internet) → Sends request to website.
2. Cloudflare WAF Layer.
   • Inspects every request against WAF Rules.
   • Safe → Forwarded to Origin Server.
   • Malicious → Automatically blocked.
3. Origin Server (Nipa Cloud) → Receives clean traffic and processes normally.
