Harden Your Cloudflare WAF Controls

Reach analyzes your Cloudflare WAF deployment to identify misconfigurations, risky rule changes, and configuration drift across WAF settings, custom rules, managed rulesets, IP lists, and security controls. Reach prioritizes fixes and continuously validates that Cloudflare WAF protections remain aligned with security policy.

The Challenge

Cloudflare WAF protects applications and APIs by inspecting HTTP/S requests at the edge using managed rules, custom rules, rate limiting, bot protections, and threat intelligence.

But Cloudflare WAF controls can drift as administrators change security settings, disable managed rules, loosen rate limits, or add exceptions that weaken enforcement.

Restore Managed Rules and CVE Protections

Cloudflare Managed Rulesets help block exploit attempts targeting vulnerabilities such as Log4j, React RCE, and Atlassian Confluence code injection. Reach detects when managed rules are disabled or downgraded from [block] to [log], leaving exploit traffic recorded but not stopped. This helps teams restore active protection before known attack techniques pass through unmitigated.

Strengthen Bot, Credential, and Security Settings

Cloudflare WAF settings such as Bot Fight Mode, Leaked Credential Checks, and Security Level help stop bot traffic, credential stuffing, scraping, and automated abuse. Reach identifies high-impact drift, such as [bot_fight_mode] being turned off, leaked credential checks being disabled, or [security_level] being lowered from [under_attack]. This helps teams quickly reverse changes that reduce bot and account takeover protection.

Tighten Custom Rules and Rate Limiting

Cloudflare Custom Rules and rate limiting rules control how applications respond to suspicious requests, brute force attempts, and abusive traffic patterns. Reach analyzes rule changes such as weakened rate limits, broad allow rules, or WAF skip conditions that let traffic bypass inspection. This helps security teams preserve intended enforcement and prevent abuse, brute force attacks, and DDoS traffic from slipping through.

Validate TLS, IP Lists, and Stop Configuration Drift

Cloudflare WAF posture also depends on secure platform settings such as minimum TLS version, IP lists, page rules, and zone-level security configuration. Reach detects risky changes like [min_tls_version] being downgraded from TLS 1.2 to TLS 1.0 or new IP list entries that expand trusted access. By continuously monitoring drift, Reach helps ensure Cloudflare WAF remains hardened against outdated protocols, risky exceptions, and unintended exposure.
