AWS WAF
Web Application Firewall that protects web applications and APIs from common exploits and attacks by defining security rules
Discover top open-source software, updated regularly with real-world adoption signals.

Industrial‑grade AI‑powered WAF with zero‑day defense and scalable protection
UUSEC WAF delivers high‑performance, AI‑driven web and API protection with three‑layer defense, intelligent 0‑day detection, CDN acceleration, HIPS/RASP, and flexible Lua rule engine, deployable via Docker in minutes.

UUSEC WAF is a high‑performance web application firewall designed for enterprises and API providers that need AI‑driven security. It implements a three‑layer defense model—traffic, system, and runtime—so that attacks are stopped before they reach the application.
The product uses machine‑learning anomaly detection to automatically generate whitelist rule sets, enabling zero‑day protection without manual rule updates. It adds a regex‑enabled cache purge for precise CDN acceleration, and integrates host‑level HIPS and runtime RASP modules to block low‑level system attacks. An advanced semantic engine decodes and inspects complex payloads (base64, JSON, form data) for SQL, XSS, RCE, and LFI threats, while a LuaJIT‑powered rule engine lets security engineers write custom plugins.
Installation is a one‑click Docker script that runs on a pure Linux x86_64 host. After the containers start, the management UI is reachable at https://:4443. Sites, SSL certificates (including automatic Let’s Encrypt), and security policies can be added through the UI, and rule changes take effect instantly without restarting the service.
When teams consider UUSEC WAF, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

Unified threat management and endpoint security
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
E‑commerce site zero‑day protection
Automatic detection blocks SQL injection and XSS attacks with <0.1% false positives
Precise CDN cache invalidation
Regex‑based cache purge refreshes only changed assets, reducing latency and bandwidth
Microservice API gateway security
Real‑time rule publishing secures new endpoints without downtime
Custom Java runtime protection
RASP module intercepts malicious JVM calls, preventing exploitation of runtime vulnerabilities
A pure Linux x86_64 server is required; other OSes are not supported.
Docker CE 20.10.14+ and Docker Compose 2.0+ are required.
No, rules published via the management backend take effect immediately.
Yes, the UI can request and automatically renew free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates.
Chinese users should follow the Chinese website instructions; the international installer may not work for them.
