What is AngkasaIO WAF

An AngkasaIO Web Application Firewall (AIOWAF) is a cloud-based security system that protects web applications from cyber threats by filtering and monitoring HTTP/HTTPS traffic between users and a website. It acts as a shield that blocks malicious traffic while allowing legitimate requests to pass through.

Why Use a AngkasaIO WAF?

AIOWAFs help protect against common web attacks, including:

• SQL Injection (SQLi) – Prevents database manipulation.
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) – Blocks malicious scripts.
• Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) – Stops unauthorized actions.
• DDoS Attacks – Mitigates large-scale traffic floods.
• Session Hijacking and Protection – Attackers steal a user's session (like login cookies)
• Password Cracking / Brute Force Attacks – Hackers try multiple passwords repeatedly
• Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) – Attackers trick the server into making requests to unauthorized locations.
• File Upload Protection – Malicious files (like scripts or malware) are uploaded to a website to execute harmful actions.
• Bot and Automated Attack Protection – Malicious bots perform large-scale attacks like scraping, credential stuffing, or DDoS.
• Insecure Deserialization – Attackers manipulate data serialization to execute harmful code on a server.
• Directory Traversal (Path Traversal) – Hackers access restricted files by altering URL paths.
• Remote File Inclusion (RFI) – Attackers inject external malicious files into a web app.
• Local File Inclusion (LFI) – Similar to RFI, but attackers use local files to execute harmful code.
• Bad IP Request – Requests from known malicious IPs trying to exploit vulnerabilities.

How Does a AngkasaIO WAF Work?

• Intercepts Web Requests – Before reaching the server, requests pass through the AIOWAF.
• Analyzes Traffic – Checks for malicious patterns using predefined rules, AI, and threat intelligence.
• Blocks or Allows Requests – If the request is safe, it reaches the website; if it’s a threat, it gets blocked.

Key Benefits of AngkasaIO WAF

• Prevents cyberattacks before they reach your server.
• Enhances website performance with caching & load balancing.
• Ensures regulatory compliance (PCI-DSS, GDPR, etc.).
• Provides real-time threat intelligence & analytics.
