How does Cloudflare's WAF (Web Application Firewall) protect against common web vulnerabilities, and can the 'dash' help identify blocked threats?

Cloudflare's WAF protects your website from common web application vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and remote file inclusion. It works by inspecting incoming HTTP requests and blocking malicious traffic based on predefined rules and custom policies. The Cloudflare dash allows you to view blocked requests, identify attack patterns, and adjust WAF rules to enhance security. You can analyze blocked threats within the dashboard to understand the evolving attack landscape and proactively strengthen your defenses.
