A website intrusion detection system (IDS) monitors and inspects incoming requests to identify indicators of attack, like exploit payloads, credential‑stuffing attempts, or anomalous behavior; so you can stop threats before they reach your application. Paired with a web application firewall (WAF) and prevention rules, IDS becomes a proactive shield against hacks.
At Sucuri, IDS is built into our Web Application Firewall and included in all Complete Website Security Platform plans, so you get layered protection without extra complexity or hidden costs.
Sucuri combines an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) with a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to deliver proactive, layered security. This integration stops attacks before they reach your site by detecting anomalies, blocking malicious traffic, and applying virtual patches in real time. Here are four core protections that make this possible:
We protect your website against malicious code and prevent website hacking with our Web Application Firewall (WAF).
Hackers discover new vulnerabilities every day. We protect sites and stop suspicious behavior. Mitigating new threats rarely requires a patch.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks can cause downtime. We block layer 3, 4, and 7 DDoS attacks.
Automated hacker tools target all sites. We stop brute force attacks and password cracking to prevent site abuse.
Sucuri’s Intrusion Detection System is more than just monitoring—it’s a proactive defense layer built into our Web Application Firewall and included in all Complete Website Security Platform plans. These features work together to detect, block, and mitigate threats in real time, keeping your site secure and fast.
If a security patch is released, but you can’t update your site, it becomes an easy target for hackers. We constantly update patches and server rules to protect your site.
Protect your website from emerging security threats. We correlate attack data across our network to better understand malicious behavior and keep your site secure.
Add another layer of protection to sensitive pages by enabling the Protected Page feature. Add passwords, CAPTCHA, 2FA (via Google Authenticator), or IP allowlisting.
Allowlisted IP addresses ensure that only your team can access website administrative areas. Restrict your admin panels so malicious users don’t gain access.
Each site has its CMS, server software, and other technologies in the stack. We analyze all the traffic to block requests that don’t fit your web application’s profile.
All HTTP/HTTPS web traffic is inspected before reaching your server. With heuristic and signature-based techniques, we block malicious requests and attack patterns.
When our systems detect a malicious bot or hacker tool trying to attack your site, it is blocked automatically. We protect your site from vulnerability exploitation attempts.
Most website attacks come from only a handful of countries. Block all visitors from the top three attack countries with one click or choose which countries to block.

Is Sucuri an IDS, IPS, or WAF?
Sucuri combines the strengths of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and a Web Application Firewall (WAF) into one solution. Our firewall inspects all HTTP/HTTPS traffic, detects malicious patterns, and actively blocks attacks in real time. This means you get both detection and prevention, plus performance benefits from our global CDN—all in a single platform.
How does virtual patching help with zero‑day and known CVEs?
Virtual patching applies security rules at the edge of your network, blocking exploit attempts before they reach your site. This is critical for zero‑day vulnerabilities and known CVEs because it buys you time to safely update your CMS, plugins, or themes without leaving your site exposed. No code changes are required on your end.
How does Sucuri mitigate DDoS attacks?
Guarantee your website availability and performance against the largest attacks. Our globally distributed Anycast Network and secure content delivery keep your site online during large traffic spikes and massive DDoS attacks.
Will geo‑blocking hurt SEO?
Not if configured correctly. Sucuri’s Geo‑Blocking lets you block POST requests (like logins or form submissions) from high‑risk regions while keeping view access open for search engines and legitimate visitors. This approach minimizes SEO impact while reducing attack surface.
Do I get 24/7 support and a guarantee?
Yes. Our security team is available 24/7/365 via chat and ticket for any issues or questions. All plans include a 30‑day money‑back guarantee, so you can try Sucuri risk‑free.
