The firewall is incredibly efficient since it screens the entire HTTP traffic to a website in real time without slowing it down, so it can easily stop an attack before any harm is done. It additionally keeps an exceptionally thorough log of all attack attempts which contains more info than conventional Apache logs, so you could later check out the data and take extra measures to increase the security of your sites if necessary.
