Automatic protection for common web platforms
Oct 14, 2014John Graham-Cumming
Summary
This post introduces the concept of platform-specific WAF rulesets for common web platforms (WordPress, Drupal, Plone, WHMCS, Joomla). It explains that enabling these rulesets provides automatic protection against newly discovered vulnerabilities as Cloudflare pushes updates to them. It highlights the ease of enabling these rulesets via a simple ON/OFF button in the WAF Settings and references previous automatic rollouts for Heartbleed and Shellshock.
