Cloudflare’s Web Application Firewall (WAF) for Rackspace

Cloudflare’s WAF is built to protect your Rackspace hosted website from malicious attack, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and comment spam. Our WAF engine runs the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set by default, making sure you’re protected against the OWASP Top 10 common vulnerabilities. In addition, the Cloudflare WAF intelligently learns from the 26 million Internet properties on our network — from the smallest of web properties to enterprise behemoths.
