Edge Services is a feature for Scaleway Load Balancers and Object Storage buckets. Creating Edge Services [pipelines](/edge-services/concepts/#pipeline) towards your Load Balancers or Object Storage buckets provides:
16
16
-A [caching service](/edge-services/how-to/configure-cache/) to improve performance by reducing load on your [origin](/edge-services/concepts/#origin), and
17
-
- A [Web Application Firewall](/edge-services/how-to/configure-waf/) to protect your origin from threats and malicious activity, and
18
17
- A customizable and secure endpoint for accessing content via Edge Services, which can be set to a subdomain of your choice and secured with an SSL/TLS certificate.

## What is WAF?

**W**eb **A**pplication **F**irewall is a feature available in Public Beta via Edge Services for Load Balancer origins only. When enabled, WAF filters requests to your Load Balancer origin to determine whether they are potentially malicious. You can choose the [paranoia level](/edge-services/concepts/#paranoia-level) to be used when evaluating requests, and set [exclusions](/edge-services/concepts/#exclusions) to define traffic that shouldn't be filtered by WAF. Requests that are judged to be malicious are blocked or logged, depending on the settings you choose. Find out more about WAF in our [detailed documentation](/edge-services/reference-content/understanding-waf/).

## I don't have a Load Balancer, how can I use WAF with a different type of Scaleway resource?
41
-
42
-
For now, this isn't possible: you must put such resources behind a Load Balancer in order to benefit from WAF. Watch this space for other solutions in the future.
43
-
44
-
## Can I use WAF and caching simultaneously?
45
-
46
-
Yes, you can have both of these features enabled at the same time on the same Load Balancer pipeline. WAF protects your Load Balancer origin only: it does not filter requests served by the cache.
47

48
-
## What ruleset is used by WAF? Is it updated automatically?
49
-
50
-
Scaleway Edge Services WAF uses the [OWASP **C**ore **R**ule **S**et (CRS)](https://coreruleset.org/). This is an industry standard, open source ruleset for WAF, which protects against multiple categories of attack such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Full details are available in the [OWASP CRS documentation](https://coreruleset.org/docs/).

We handle the regular updating of rules, removing this hassle from you the user.

Creating an Edge Services pipeline for your Load Balancer helps to reduce load on your Load Balancer's backend servers. The origin configuration you define is used by Edge Services to connect to your Load Balancer and request content, which is then stored in the cache. Then, when your Load Balancer origin is accessed via its customizable Edge Services endpoint, the requested content is served from the cache (if present), without the need to fetch this content via the Load Balancer and its backend servers.

In the context of an Edge Services [Web Application Firewall](#web-application-firewall), the paranoia level determines how sensitive the request-evaluation mechanism is to potential threats. Four paranoia levels are available, with level 1 being the least sensitive, and level 4 being the most sensitive. The higher the paranoia level, the more likely it is that a given request will be judged to be malicious. For full details on paranoia levels, see our [detailed documentation](/edge-services/reference-content/understanding-waf/#waf-ruleset-and-paranoia-levels).
