Cloudflare's WAF protects your website from common web attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and DDoS attacks. It works by analyzing incoming traffic and blocking malicious requests based on pre-defined rules and custom policies. The WAF can be configured to block specific IP addresses, user agents, or request patterns.
