🛡️ SECURITY · APPLICATION LAYER · MANAGED WAF

Stop web attacks before they reach your origin.

QCloud Web Application Firewall is a managed, OWASP-aligned application-layer firewall that filters malicious traffic in real time — SQL injection, XSS, RCE, bot abuse, credential stuffing, and zero-day signatures. Hosted inside KHI-1 and ISB-1. Billed by the hour, in PKR.

WHAT IT IS

One filter between the internet and your application.

QCloud WAF inspects every HTTP/HTTPS request before it reaches your servers — analyzing headers, body, parameters, and behavior against thousands of attack signatures, OWASP-aligned managed rule sets, and your own custom policies. Malicious requests are blocked at the edge. Clean traffic continues, unchanged.

OWASP TOP 10 · 2021

Every critical vulnerability. Covered out of the box.

QCloud WAF ships with managed rule sets aligned to the OWASP Top 10 — written, maintained, and updated by our security team. Enable in one click; tune to your application; review what blocked what, weekly.

CAPABILITIES

Three layers of protection. One managed service.

Managed rule sets, always up to date.

1,200+ rules across OWASP, known CVE exploits, bot signatures, and credential-stuffing patterns. Updated daily by QCloud's security team. Enable a pack with one toggle; opt-in to auto-update by stable channel.

Write the rules your app actually needs.

Block by IP, header, body content, geo, method, URI pattern, or any combination. Apply rate limits per-route, per-IP, per-user. Use match expressions or upload your own ModSecurity-compatible rules. All changes audit-logged.

Tell humans, bots, and bad bots apart — automatically.

QCloud WAF assigns every request a bot score from 1–100 based on JS challenges, TLS fingerprinting, behavioral patterns, and known-bot intelligence. Allow good bots (search engines, monitors). Challenge ambiguous bots. Block bad bots — scrapers, scanners, credential stuffers.

DEPLOYMENT

Three ways to put QCloud WAF in front of your app. Same console.

Pick the mode that fits your topology. Switch later if it changes. No code change in your application.

THE CONSOLE

Every block, every reason, every request. One screen.

Security teams want answers fast: who got blocked, why, from where, against which rule. The QCloud WAF console gives you a real-time top-down view — no SSH, no log diving, no third-party SIEM required for the basics.

Rate limiting, behavioral challenges, JS validation.

Not every request is malicious — but a flood of them might be. QCloud WAF can throttle, challenge, or block based on rate of requests per IP, per session, per route, or per custom dimension. Challenges (managed JS, Turnstile-style) let humans through while filtering out bots.

  • Per-IP, per-session, per-header rate limits
  • Custom dimensions (e.g., per customer-id header)
  • Adaptive thresholds based on baseline
  • Challenges before blocks — fewer false positives
WAF vs ALTERNATIVES

Why teams switch to QCloud WAF — from cloud, from appliance, from nothing.
