It protects the storefront and APIs from common web application attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), remote code execution (RCE), brute force attacks, and carding bots.<\/p>\n<p>For Magento 2, a WAF acts as a protective shield that not only prevents attackers from exploiting vulnerabilities but also provides features like virtual patching, DDoS mitigation, PCI DSS compliance, and bot protection. This ensures the store remains secure, stable, and compliant.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><b>Types of WAFs for Magento 2<br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><strong>1. Cloud-based WAF (Recommended for production setups) <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Examples:<\/strong> Cloudflare WAF, Sucuri, Akamai Kona, AWS WAF, Azure Front Door<br \/>\n<strong>Pros:<\/strong> Easy deployment, global CDN, built-in DDoS protection<br \/>\n<strong>Cons:<\/strong> Vendor lock-in, recurring costs[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>2.
