In March, testing of the Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules continued. We had already reached the stage that WAF was automatically deployed for all newly added sites on WEDOS Global Protection and we were slowly getting ready to deploy it for everyone.

In February we deployed a new WordPress filter on our wedos.cz website. This has a number of pre-set rules that automatically block known attack attempts and vulnerability scanning on WordPress installations. In the future, it should replace the classic WAF (Web application firewall), which is now an essential part of all WordPress websites.

WEDOS Global is gradually growing. Two important points were added in January. We are doing our best to make the network truly global as soon as possible. We just want to have our hardware with enough connectivity everywhere. In today’s article we have a short summary of how we are doing.

The first customer support request came in 23 minutes after midnight. My colleague was able to check him in in a minute. Our services run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether it’s a holiday, a pandemic, a crisis, or a blackout. Everything has to be working around the clock and someone has to keep an eye on it. There’s always someone sitting in the data center, one staircase and several security doors separating us from the server room, and others waiting ready on the phone because they’re on call.
So began the year 2023 for WEDOS … we didn’t even know it 🙂

WEDOS Global Protection will be the first service built on WEDOS Global. We are currently in an open testing state. As part of the trial, you can add your domain to wedos.global for free and try different forms of protection and traffic filtering. By mid-October, the number of testers had surpassed 100. You do not need to have a domain or hosting with us. We just need to use our nameservers.
Now over 1,000 large websites and even one e-shop with a turnover of around one billion crowns use WEDOS Global. Every second we handle several thousand pages there.

At the beginning of the year, we significantly strengthened the parameters of the NoLimit service, especially in terms of computing power. This was especially appreciated by customers using content management systems with larger databases and customers whose websites are visited by a large number of visitors on a spur-of-the-moment basis. And it shows. The number of service cancellations due to “dissatisfaction with performance/speed” dropped almost 4 times. But it’s not just about increasing the parameters. Behind it are changes and advances that most customers are unaware of.

Today we have for you a sample DDoS attack on the application layer (L7), which was directed to the websites of one of our customers several times a week. It was interesting that the attack always started at 7:00 in the morning.

Building a decentralised global network that not only protects us but also allows us to provide entirely new services on it is not only expensive but also quite organisationally and bureaucratically demanding. Definitely one of the biggest challenges we have faced so far.

The first service we will launch on our global WEDOS Global network will be WEDOS Global Protection. It has an important task – to protect all our customers’ websites from various types of attacks and our infrastructure at the same time. Over time, we will make the WEDOS Global Protection administration available to everyone so that they can adjust the protection settings to their liking.

In recent weeks, cyberspace has been a war zone. Of course, not everything is Russia’s fault. The current chaos is also being exploited by a number of organized groups, so we are seeing more phishing, application layer attacks with extortion, and traditional DDoS attacks. But let’s not forget that Russia demonstrated its new HermeticWiper data-erasing malware early in the war. It quickly spread beyond Ukraine. It can affect you too. So our challenge still stands – back up your data to yourself wherever you have it!
