Firewall & CDN

The Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects the site against malicious attacks. The Content Delivery Network (CDN) distributes the website content geographically, bringing it closer to where visitors are in order to speed up access. The Firewall & CDN page displays the website’s traffic and threats in one view.
