Web Application Firewall/Mod_security

LiteSpeed Web Server offers excellent ModSecurity compatibility, allowing sophisticated rules for filtering out attacking requests by checking for known attack signatures. LSWS has built-in WAF security features to block bad connections. LiteSpeed also works well with popular mod_security rules set such as Owasp, Atomicorp, Comodo and CloudLinux Imunify360. LiteSpeed works well with other firewalls such as ConfigServer Security & Firewall (csf) etc.

As mentioned previously, LSWS supports most of the mod_security rules commonly used. Since Apache and LiteSpeed may have different rule sets, please make sure to download the appropriate set for each web server. The following will explain the detailed steps for configuring rule sets for use with LSWS.
