Managed & custom rules
Cloudflare managed rulesets plus custom WAF rules written around your application's real behaviour.
05WAF Implementation · Cloudflare
Cloudflare, done right.
A WAF in blocking mode is only as good as its tuning. Too loose and it waves attacks through; too aggressive and it breaks your checkout. We design, deploy and tune Cloudflare's WAF, bot management and rate limiting so the malicious traffic stops at the edge and your real users never notice.
The Reality
Most WAFs run wide open or turned off.
Teams switch a WAF on, hit a couple of false positives, and quietly drop everything back to "log only". The result is an expensive dashboard that blocks nothing.
Getting it right means knowing your own traffic: which endpoints take uploads, where your APIs live, what normal looks like. We build rules around your application, roll them out safely, and tune until blocking is confident, not guesswork.
What We Configure
The full Cloudflare edge, tuned to you.
Not just the WAF toggle, the whole protective layer working together.
Bot management
Separating genuine users and good bots from scrapers, credential stuffers and automated abuse.
Rate limiting
Endpoint-aware limits that stop brute force and API abuse without throttling legitimate spikes.
DDoS posture
Layer 7 protections configured and validated so a flood doesn't take you offline.
TLS & origin lock-down
Enforced HTTPS, sane cipher policy and origin rules so nobody bypasses the edge.
Safe rollout & tuning
Log-first deployment, false-positive review, then confident blocking, with the rules documented.
How We Deploy
Blocking that you can actually trust.
- 01
Assess
We review your current Cloudflare setup, your traffic patterns and the endpoints that carry real risk.
- 02
Design
A rule strategy mapped to your app: what to challenge, what to block, what to always allow.
- 03
Deploy in log mode
Rules go live observing first, so we see exactly what they'd catch before anything is blocked.
- 04
Tune
We review matches, kill false positives and tighten coverage until it's confident.
- 05
Enforce & hand over
Blocking switched on, documented and monitored, with a runbook your team can own.
