Why WAF Pro Stands Apart

Traditional Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) rely on web server modules like ModSecurity, which often introduce performance bottlenecks and complex configurations. BitNinja WAF Pro is a next-generation, standalone solution designed specifically for shared hosting and VPS environments, delivering superior protection without compromising speed, flexibility, or server resources.

Previously, configuring a WAF was complex and time-consuming, but WAF Pro uses machine learning-based rule updates, allowing it to automatically adapt to new threats. Sysadmins can fine-tune security rules through an intuitive user interface, enabling or disabling specific protections based on their needs.

Key Advantages Over Traditional WAFs

• Standalone Deployment: No reliance on ModSecurity, Apache, or Nginx modules—ensuring full compatibility across various hosting setups.

• Machine-Learned Rule Updates: Self-adapting security policies dynamically evolve to counter emerging threats without manual intervention.

• Optimized Resource Management: Engineered for low-latency execution, reducing the typical overhead associated with legacy WAF implementations.

• Integrated SSL Certificate Handling: Built-in automatic certificate generation to simplify secure HTTPS adoption.

Built for Speed and Performance

BitNinja WAF Pro outperforms its predecessors with significant efficiency gains. On a stress test, the task was loading 150.000 SSL Certificates. WAF 2.0 finished it in a little over 6 minutes, WAF Pro needed 15 seconds.

Security Without Complexity

Unlike traditional WAFs requiring manual rule configurations and maintenance, WAF Pro operates autonomously, applying self-optimizing security measures through:

• Custom Rule Management: Fine-tune protection levels via an intuitive UI, enabling granular rule activation or deactivation.

• Zero-Day Exploit Mitigation: New WAF rules published before they have a chance to cause an impact.

• Global Threat Intelligence: Integrated with BitNinja’s Defense Network, providing shared protection based on real-world attack data.

Available in Beta – How to Enable It

WAF Pro is currently in beta, meaning it won’t be automatically available as a stable release yet.
To test it, users will need to:

1. Switch to the Feature Branch in their BitNinja Console
2. Manually configure the settings after switching

This allows early adopters to test WAF Pro's features and functionality ahead of its official release.
