title: Zuplo + WAF/DDoS Services
33
---
44

5-
A common setup for customers using Zuplo (or any API Gateway) is how to setup a
6-
WAF and DDoS protection in front of their API Gateway. Because Zuplo is deployed
7-
to the edge (meaning lots of different locations all around the world close to
8-
your customers), it's important that your WAF/DDoS services also support
9-
edge-based deployments. Configuring a legacy WAF solution that runs in one or
10-
only a few data centers in front of Zuplo will result in increased latency and
11-
suboptimal experiences for your end users. This document outlines the various
12-
strategies as well as the recommended setup for several popular services.

When picking WAF + DDoS services to run in front of your Zuplo API Gateway
15-
consider the following:
16-
17-
- What level of customization do you require for your WAF + DDoS? If common
18-
configurations are enough, consider Zuplo Managed WAF.
19-
- Is your WAF/DDoS service also deployed at the edge?
20-
- How can you ensure that requests can't bypass your WAF/DDoS and make requests
21-
directly to your API Gateway?
5+
Many customers using Zuplo (or any other API Gateway) often choose to deploy WAF
6+
and DDoS protection in front of their gateway. You can use any WAF - we have
7+
customers today using Azure, AWS, Akamai, CloudFlare and many other options.
8+
9+
However, there are some things to consider depending on how you host Zuplo
10+
(edge, dedicated, or self-hosted).
11+
12+
If for some reason these don't work for you - we can also offer a managed WAF as
13+
part of your Zuplo Enterprise agreement; contact sales to discuss.
14+
15+
More details on some third-party WAF solutions are included below.

## Managed Edge Deployments
18+
19+
Zuplo when running on the managed edge is running in over 300 data centers
20+
around the world. If you care about worldwide presence, be sure to choose a WAF
21+
that is globally distributed as all traffic will be routed through your WAF.
22+
23+
## Managed Dedicated and Self-hosted Deployments
24+
25+
Customers typically use a WAF offered by their selected hosting platform (e.g.
26+
Azure, Akamai, AWS etc) to simplify management, improve latency and reduce
27+
bandwidth costs.

### Cloudflare WAF + DDoS

Cloudflare is the easiest solution for custom WAF + DDoS in front of your Zuplo
73-
API Gateway. Because Zuplo is already terminated with Cloudflare, the
74-
integration is seamless and requires virtually zero configuration. Simply point
75-
your Cloudflare managed domain to Zuplo and you are protected. You can fully
76-
customize your WAF, firewall, DDoS or any other security configuration offered
77-
by Cloudflare. When a request comes into Cloudflare, it will be routed first
78-
through your account's configuration, then will be sent to your Zuplo API
79-
Gateway. The same thing happens on the outbound as well.
