Summary

In August 2013, Cloudflare rolled out a new global Web Application Firewall (WAF) that runs common sets of firewall rules and also has a custom rule language for unique customer protection. Since then, numerous global and customer-specific rules have been deployed to protect websites from various attacks. Customers can report an attack, after which Cloudflare's support engineers write one-of-a-kind rules to block the specific threat. The rules are then pushed to their git repository and deployed worldwide within 30 seconds. This rapid response helps prevent overloading of customer web servers and mitigates potential threats.
