## Frequently asked questions

*FAQ*

### What is WAAP? How is it different from a standard WAF?

A traditional WAF only protects web apps with fixed rules. WAAP (Web Application and API Protection) goes further, covering API security, bot management, Layer 7 DDoS protection, and AI-driven behavior analysis, turning defense from reactive into proactive.

### What attacks does VNIS protect against?

VNIS covers Layer 3/4/7 DDoS, SQL Injection, XSS, Brute Force, zero-day exploits, malicious bots, API abuse, and the full OWASP Top 10.

### How long does VNIS take to integrate, and does it require infrastructure changes?

Just 2 minutes, no software to install, no changes to your IT architecture.

### How does VNIS protect Web/App/API?

VNIS runs on 2 independent, tightly coordinated layers that stop attacks early, before they reach your system:
- Layer 1, AI Smart Load Balancing & Multi-CDN: Distributes traffic intelligently across global Multi-CDN infrastructure, automatically detecting and blocking abnormal access right at the network layer, your first line of defense against Layer 3/4 DDoS before malicious traffic reaches your system.
- Layer 2, AI WAAP (Web Application and API Protection): Uses AI to deeply analyze every request, blocking Layer 7 DDoS, malicious bots, OWASP Top 10 exploits, and threats targeting your Web, App, and API directly.

### Do you need a specialized IT team to operate VNIS?

No. VNIS WAAP runs through a simple, intuitive portal, just a few clicks to enable protection. VNETWORK's team supports you from deployment to operation, so no specialized expertise is required.

### Does VNETWORK offer an uptime SLA commitment?

VNETWORK provides an uptime SLA commitment for paid plans. Businesses that require high stability and a formal uptime commitment are welcome to contact our consulting team for the right plan.

### Do invoicing and payment comply with Vietnamese regulations?

VNETWORK issues valid VAT invoices in VND, fully meeting the accounting and legal requirements for businesses operating in Vietnam.
