Cloudflare WAF — Stop Attacks at the Edge, Not at Your Server
Every HTTP request to your site passes through Cloudflare's 300+ PoP network first. Malicious requests — SQL injection, XSS, bot scraping, DDoS floods — are blocked at the edge before they consume a single byte of your origin bandwidth. Ogma deploys, tunes, and manages your Cloudflare WAF.
Why Ogma

Platform Capabilities
Everything Cloudflare Blocks for You
Managed WAF
Cloudflare's managed rule sets (OWASP CRS + Cloudflare-curated) block SQLi, XSS, RCE, LFI, and hundreds of known CVE exploits. Rules are updated automatically as new threats emerge.
DDoS Mitigation
Cloudflare's anycast network absorbs volumetric attacks up to 148 Tbps. Advanced DDoS protects Layer 3/4 (network floods) and Layer 7 (HTTP floods) with automatic detection and mitigation in seconds.
Bot Management
ML-trained bot scoring on every request. Verified bots (Google, Bing) are allowed; credential stuffers, scrapers, and inventory hoarders are blocked — without CAPTCHA fatigue for real users.
API Shield
Schema validation, rate limiting, JWT validation, and OWASP API Top 10 protection for REST and GraphQL APIs. Sequence analytics detects multi-step API abuse patterns.
CDN & Performance
Cloudflare's global CDN caches static assets at the edge, reduces origin load by 60-80%, and delivers sub-100ms TTFB for Indian users. Security and performance from the same platform.
Analytics & Reporting
Real-time firewall event dashboards, attack timelines, and blocked threat summaries. Ogma provides monthly WAF health reports with tuning recommendations aligned to your threat landscape.
