Cloud vs Endpoint
Sucuri is famous for its Cloud WAF, which requires you to route your traffic through their DNS servers. This is highly effective at stopping massive DDoS attacks at the edge network.
However, Sucuri's free WordPress plugin does not include a WAF or a server-side malware scanner (it only scans the frontend HTML remotely). Nexura provides an Endpoint Pre-Boot WAF that runs locally on your server, offering deep protection without requiring complex DNS changes or premium subscriptions.
