What Are the Differences Between the Web Tamper Protection Functions of HSS and WAF?¶
The web tamper protection function of HSS monitors website directories in real time, backs up files, and restores tampered files using the backup, protecting websites from tampering. This function is helpful for governments, educational institutions, and enterprises.
WAF protects user data on the application layer. It supports cache configuration on static web pages. When a user accesses a web page, the system returns a cached page to the user and randomly checks whether the page has been tampered with.
