It includes more than 4,000 signatures, machine-learning-based zero-day protection, file-upload antivirus scanning and sandboxing, and DDoS protection from Layer 3 to Layer 7. An API gateway provides authentication, rate limiting, transformation, and observability. Bot controls include detection and mitigation, device fingerprinting, mobile SDK protection, JavaScript and CAPTCHA challenges, and deception technology. Enterprise WAF also lists incident logging, analytics and dashboards, SIEM integration, and PCI compliance reporting. Deployment options include SaaS, virtual, hardware, and MSSP, with on-premise and public- or private-cloud deployment. Community WAF runs on a VM, Docker, or hardware and requires at least 2 GB RAM, 60 GB disk space, and 2 vCPU cores. Community WAF is free for one website and one security profile. Professional WAF costs $30 a month, billed at the end of each monthly billing period based on requests processed; the first 100K requests are free.
