Securing WooCommerce and E-commerce Platforms

Prioritizing E-commerce Security #

E-commerce sites are high-value targets. Our E-commerce WAF Plan includes the fastest malware removal SLA (1-hour response) to minimize revenue loss during an incident.

WAF Protection for the Transactional Layer #

Our WAF rules are specifically tuned to protect high-risk areas of an online store:

1. Cart and Checkout Protection: WAF rules analyze POST requests to cart and checkout URLs, blocking common attacks aimed at harvesting customer data or crashing the transaction process.

2. Payment Gateway Integration: Ensure your payment gateway uses HTTPS (secured by your CyberWAF SSL). We protect the communication channel to and from the payment processor.

Performance Tips for Peak Traffic #

• Caching Exclusions: Exclude the cart, checkout, and my-account pages from aggressive caching to prevent showing stale data, but ensure product pages are heavily cached for speed.

• Dedicated Resources: E-commerce sites benefit most from the higher dedicated CPU and RAM provided by the Business or E-commerce plans to handle concurrent transactions.
