 * Hi there,

 * One of Shield’s longest standing features is its firewall that prevents the sort
   of attacks you’re referring to, particularly SQL based attacks. XSS is a little
   more difficult… the best protection against this is using trusted plugins that
   are regularly updated and that respond quickly to vulnerability discoveries.
 * If you’re particularly concerned about XSS, you could employ Cloudflare’s OWASP
   firewall ruleset.
