WAF Qrator
Description
Please note that any website can be subject to DDoS attacks and hacking.
If you host your website (application) infrastructure in Selectel, then we recommend enabling WAF Qrator protection against hacking.
To protect yourself against hacking, you first need to protect the website at the network level, and then protect the application — for this, Qrator protection (from both L3 and L7) and WAF Qrator are enabled.
Learn more about the protection provided by Qrator in the instructions.
WAF detects and blocks attacks from the OWASP Top 10 threat list:
- injection;
- broken authentication and session management;
- cross-site scripting (XSS);
- insecure direct XML objects and external entities references (XXE);
- security misconfiguration;
- broken access control;
- cross-site request forgery (CSRF);
- insecure deserialization;
- using components with known vulnerabilities;
- unvalidated redirects and forwards;
- insufficient logging and monitoring.
WAF Qrator Technical Specifications
An integrated Qrator Labs WAF solution based on SolidWall WAF is a tool that allows you to fix vulnerabilities in web applications. Representing a wider WAF NG class, this solution uses a positive model to protect web applications — but unlike others, it contains a negative query analysis model. This combined approach allows you to significantly reduce resources for implementation. This is because any positive model needs to be trained, and this requires significant time and labor costs and takes on average from 1 to 3 weeks, during which this web resource remains actually unprotected. An integrated Qrator Labs solution, combined with SolidWall WAF with a negative model inside, allows you to immediately cut off a wide class of vulnerabilities.
