Protect Your Website Vulnerabilities With a WAF: New Compairson Report: CloudFlare vs Incapsula vs ModSecurity

Published in Security on March 9, 2013

A new report came out in February, put together by Zero Science Lab, in which they compare the effectiveness between CloudFlare and Incapsula. In it they did the same thing Philip Tibom of Sweden did last year in his comparative report in which he concluded that Incapsula was the superior product. In this new report they included the use of TrustWave’s ModSecurity solution. The thing that website owners have to understand however is that comparing the three is a bit misleading.

Incapsula and Cloudflare are the two leading WAF solutions set up as a software as a service (SaaaS) designed to help every day website owners. CloudFlare probably trumps Incapsula actually in their marketing prowess. ModSecurity, although powerful, is the opposite. It’s something you’d have to configure and maintain on your web servers.

Protecting Your Website: CloudFlare or Incapsula?

Published in Security on November 13, 2012

I get this question a lot whenever I talk with clients or give presentations, “How do I prevent my website from being hacked?”. Many actually confuse the service we offer at Sucuri as a preventive service. Good thing we don’t advertise preventive services.

That’s right, our service sits in the detection and remediation realm. By the nature of what we do there are preventive components that we implement, but our service has always been about detection, and more importantly remediating the mess. For any InfoSec professional working in the security domain you can understand this approach; you have long learned that prevention is ideal but detection is key and that’s based around the understanding that prevention, like detection, will never be a 100% solution.

That being said, I came across a recent report by Philip Tibom of Sweden titled Incapsula vs. CloudFlare (PDF Download). It was published October 15th, 2012 and in it he chronicles his experiences with both platforms over the last 6 months. If you’re not familiar with either then you’re really not that concerned with your security posture, and that’s ok of course but unfortunate none the less.
