Finance Firm

Harden a client website's edge web application firewall by layering a known-good probe-blocking ruleset over managed rules, while fixing search-engine crawler access.

  • Deployed a custom rule set that verifies legitimate bots and SEO-critical files first, then blocks probes, scanners, and abusive crawlers
  • Cut hundreds of malicious probe requests within hours — traffic that previously reached the origin
  • Used edge observability to make attack traffic visible, then blocked common vulnerability probes before they reached the origin
  • Tuned crawler rules so all verified search bots pass cleanly, with no impact on legitimate visitors
