General
Can I enable or disable CUdefender anytime I want?
Yes. From your CUdefender customer portal, you can choose to disable and enable some or all services anytime you want. When CUdefender is disabled, visitors will not pass through the CUdefender Platform and will reach your site directly.
How does CUdefender work?
Through a simple and fast change to your website or application DNS records (and with no hardware or software required), your site or app traffic will be seamlessly routed through CUdefenders’s globally distributed network of high powered servers. Incoming traffic is intelligently profiled in real-time, blocking the latest web threats: from sophisticated SQL injection attacks to scrapers, malicious bots, intruding comment spammers and thwarting multi gigabit DDoS attacks. Meanwhile outgoing traffic is accelerated and optimized with our global CDN, for faster load times, keeping welcome visitors speeding through.

Will CUdefender slow down my site?
No. CUdefender has a distributed network of datacenters (POPs) that ensures that every user and website are serviced by the closest POP. This is the same principal technology that is used by most of the large websites to accelerate the delivery of their content through a Content Delivery Network (CDN). Furthermore, CUdefender will make your site run faster and consume less computing and bandwidth resources by caching site data and applying other acceleration techniques.
WAF and PCI Compliance
Is CUdefender PCI Compliant?
Yes. The CUdefender technology platform is certified as a Level I PCI Service Provider, which means that CUdefender is the only affordable PCI certified cloud Web Application Firewall & CDN available to Credit Unions.
What is a Web Application Firewall (WAF)?
CUdefender provides every website or web application, regardless of its size, with enterprise-grade, PCI-certified Web Application Firewall (WAF), ensuring your web application is safe and always available. CUdefender’s Web Application Firewall’s (WAF) threat detection models leverage experience gained by our technology partner Imperva over the past eight years leading the WAF market. This core competency has been integrated into our new platform which is optimized to support a cloud-based delivery model that enhances security via real-time centralized collaboration. Our WAF protects from the latest web threats: sophisticated SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), illegal resource access, remote file inclusion, comment spam and all other OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities.
