Frequently asked questions

WAF Manager currently integrates natively with Cloudflare Web Application Firewall. Integration requires only an API key — no configuration changes to your Cloudflare account are needed. Additional WAF platform integrations are on the roadmap; contact Hakware for current availability if you run AWS WAF or Azure Front Door WAF.

The geo-attack dashboard maps blocked requests to their originating countries and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). This helps your team identify whether attack traffic is concentrated from specific regions or hosting providers — useful intelligence for tuning Cloudflare firewall rules to block high-risk source ASNs at the perimeter.

WAF Manager monitors the rate of blocked requests in real time and fires an alert when the block rate spikes significantly above the rolling baseline — a reliable early indicator of a web application DDoS or credential stuffing campaign before it saturates your origin servers or triggers a Cloudflare rate limit.

Yes. PCI DSS Requirement 6.4 mandates that public-facing web applications are protected by a WAF. WAF Manager provides ongoing evidence that your WAF is active, blocking threats, and configured with rules that fire — the event history and rule performance analytics satisfy assessor requirements for demonstrating WAF effectiveness.
