Yes. Seravo uses a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to monitor and filter web traffic. It analyzes incoming requests to the site and automatically blocks known attack patterns, such as SQL injections and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attempts.
All sites at Seravo are protected against common threats with global security rules. In addition to this, a more specific, site-based WAF protection can be activated for individual sites.
Managing WAF Settings
You can manage the site-specific Web Application Firewall directly from the command line using the srv tool. This allows you to temporarily disable the protection for troubleshooting purposes, for example, if you suspect that legitimate traffic is being blocked.
Available commands:
Check status:
srv feature waf --statusEnable WAF:
srv feature waf --enableDisable WAF:
srv feature waf --disableMore info:
srv feature waf --help
Note on latency: When you change the WAF setting, the change does not take effect immediately because the nginx configuration must be reloaded. The setting is updated automatically in the background. Please note that there may be a delay before the change becomes active.
Note: If you need the change to take effect immediately (e.g., for troubleshooting), please contact our customer support.
Enterprise WAF
Upcoming feature for WP Enterprise sites
We are currently developing the Enterprise WAF extension, which will provide our WP Enterprise customers with even deeper visibility and control over their site's security.
Planned features:
Custom Security Rules: The ability to implement strictly tailored and tightened firewall rules specifically for your site.
Detailed Log Data: In-depth access to filtered traffic logs, making it easier to analyze attack patterns and perform advanced troubleshooting.
