Web application firewall and DDoS protection

ZeroBounce uses Cloudflare Enterprise, an award-winning security solution that offers a web application firewall (WAF) to our main site and members area.

The WAF helps our security team monitor and filter any unwanted or harmful traffic from accessing our platform or the protected data. It also guarantees 100% uptime, meaning you’ll always have access to your account and tools.

That means protection against potential DDoS threats by restricting the number of server requests allowed before they can take the platform offline.
