What should I do if my system is down?
If you receive a 404 Error, or cannot log into the system and receive an error page instead, please see the SuperControl status page below for the latest updates on System Performance:

From time to time you may receive a denial of access from Incapsula:
Our WAF system blocks your application due to suspicious behaviour.
This can be related with two things:
First thing: Your application doesn't have proper security (WAF etc.) and someone can scan your webpage to find a weak point.
Now is time to take action and protect your web page with the WAF. On the market is a lot of the solutions. One of them are standalone but this will be no needed to you. In your case we propose a cloud WAF one of the proposal below:
https://www.cloudflare.com/plans/ but you can pick one that you think is best for your business.
Second thing: If you have WAF but still get the block screen ask your developer about any code changes as there can be a wrong request which can be treated like a potential attack.
If you want to get confirmation or you are unsure, please deliver the incident ID. Below we mark where to find this:
Technical terms used in the instructions:
WAF - Web application firewall. Security system protects the application from attacks and suspicious actions.
Whitelist - Function on WAF that allows use of SuperControl without any security restrictions.
Standalone - Physical or virtual machine/environment where the customer/owner is fully responsible for working and configuration.
Cloud - Hosted on the “share” physical infrastructure but only the owner has access to this account for configuration.
