The challenge
Your organization faces a relentless barrage of automated attacks targeting web applications and APIs. Attackers exploit vulnerabilities to steal sensitive data, disrupt services, and compromise user accounts. Traditional security measures struggle to keep pace with the volume, velocity, and sophistication of these threats, creating an asymmetry of defense where attackers only need one successful exploit while defenders must secure every endpoint continuously. The escalating cost of failure demands a proactive and comprehensive approach to web security.

The solution
Web security addresses your unique challenges through modern solutions and key capabilities.
OWASP top 10 protection
Provides pre-configured rules to block the most critical web risks, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
DDoS mitigation
Absorbs volumetric attacks at the network layer and application layer, ensuring application availability during distributed denial-of-service events.
SSL/TLS decryption
Decrypts, inspects, and re-encrypts HTTPS traffic, providing visibility into encrypted traffic to identify and block threats.
Basic bot management
Identifies bots via IP reputation, user agents, and rate limiting, preventing scraping and resource exhaustion by malicious scripts.
Shadow API discovery
Discovers unknown APIs by analyzing traffic, automatically generating OpenAPI schemas to enforce schema compliance and prevent parameter tampering.
AI-driven behavioral analysis
Learns known good behavior to identify anomalies and potential data exfiltration attempts, even without known attack signatures.

How to evaluate web security
1
Security efficacy
Evaluate the solution's ability to accurately distinguish between legitimate and malicious traffic, focusing on true positive and false positive rates.
2
Architecture and deployment
Consider whether a cloud-native or appliance-based solution best fits your organization's needs, considering factors like ease of use, scalability, data sovereignty, and control.
3
Operational TCO
Assess the total cost of ownership, including license fees, managed service options, and the internal labor required for tuning and maintenance.
4
API maturity
Prioritize vendors with dedicated API discovery and schema enforcement engines, recognizing that API traffic now exceeds human web traffic.
