DDoS Mitigation & WAF

Defend your application against malicious traffic spikes and code injection threats with ModSecurity Web Application Firewall.

ModSecurity WAF Rules

A Web Application Firewall (WAF) acts as an external shield between your site files and incoming traffic. Standard network firewalls block IPs, but a WAF inspects the actual HTTP requests to verify they aren't carrying malicious payloads.

Our **ModSecurity WAF** uses optimized OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) rules to analyze form inputs, comments, and logins. It filters out common hacks like SQL injections (trying to read your database tables) and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

💡 Security Insight:

Standard firewalls do not inspect form submissions. Without a WAF like ModSecurity, a bot could inject SQL queries into your site contact forms and hijack admin privileges.

Mitigating Volumetric DDoS Attacks

DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks hit servers with millions of fake visits to consume server RAM/bandwidth and push your site offline.

Aryanispe Host operates a multi-layer mitigation pipeline:

  • Layer 3/4 Filtering: Blocks syn-floods and volume attacks at the hardware routers before they reach server operating systems.
  • Layer 7 (Application) Filtering: Analyzes requests for common bot-pattern loops and automatically triggers captcha screens for suspicious traffic.
