‘Detection only mode’ allows the administrator to test rule-sets before they are enforced, alongside with rule-sets in ‘protection mode’ that enforce already proven security policies. HTTP traffic will never be touched until the administrator chooses to enforce a rule-set in ‘protection mode’.

Answer:
When an application is in 'protection mode', the rules of the ruleset are actually enforced. This means that requests are actually denied in the case of an attempted attack. In this mode, too, all actions are logged in the log files for future analysis and documentation.

Protection mode is typically used only after you have tested a ruleset for some time in detection mode, and now want to protect a web application with the help of this ruleset.

Answer:
Web application security is a major concern for cloud computing and the reason hyperguard SaaS is a valuable addition to any GoGrid customer..

GoGrid covers the typical network-layer defenses, however, suspect requests, cross-site scripting, SQL injection and many other common attacks that affect the application itself need to be defended. This is where a strong distributed WAF comes into play.

With the proper security solutions in place, cloud computing is a powerful platform for any company.
