HAProxy ModSecurity

HAProxy ALOHA ModSecurity WAF

The HAProxy ALOHA provides the ModSecurity Web Application Firewall (WAF) for detecting and stopping malicious web traffic before it can reach your servers. Use it to block SQL injection (SQLi) attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), remote code execution, and other common threats. ALOHA’s ModSecurity has been hardened to avoid failures that other versions may be vulnerable to, and it demonstrates a performance gain over implementations found in other load balancers. Define custom routing rules to control how much traffic the WAF inspects for even greater performance and get easy observability straight from the ALOHA Logs dashboard.
