📖 Protection

The Protection section in ShieldsGuard provides you with all the tools necessary to defend your infrastructure against both volumetric and application-layer attacks.

ShieldsGuard ensures complete protection against all types of DDoS attacks — from Layer 3/4 floods to complex Layer 7 HTTP-based threats.

In this section, you will find two powerful modules:

  • 3.1 DDoS Protection – Activate automated defense against TCP/UDP floods, SYN attacks, HTTP request floods, and behavioral anomalies.

  • 3.2 WAF – Web Application Firewall – Inspect and filter all web-layer traffic with advanced rule sets tailored to block XSS, SQLi, RCE, LFI/RFI, and more.

⚠️ Important: Both modules are independent but work best when enabled together.

We strongly recommend enabling and fine-tuning both DDoS Protection and WAF to ensure the highest level of resilience, especially in public-facing or critical environments.
