  • SQL Injection Protection

  • Bot Protection

  • DDoS Protection

  • Malware Protection

  • Zero Day Exploit Protection

What is a Web Application Firewall?

The Web Application Firewall inspects incoming HTTP/S traffic at the application layer to detect and block malicious requests to protect web applications in real time. Deployed inline or as a cloud service, it correlates threat intelligence, adapts dynamically based on observed traffic patterns, and provides detailed logging and reporting for rapid incident response. 

See Web Application Firewall Plans

Real-time threat detection and blocking

Stop attacks as they happen and maintain application availability with advanced analytics, behavioral profiling, threat intelligence, and proactive protection.

Web application layer protection

Block malicious traffic and application-layer attacks from the client-side before they reach backend systems with visibility and rapid response tools to counter emerging attack patterns effectively.

DDoS attack protection 

Combat DDoS attacks that overwhelm web applications with malicious traffic by distinguishing legitimate users, blocking or throttling suspicious flows on the application layer. 

Bot detection and protection

Allow good bots like search engines and block or divert harmful bots before they can scrape content, carry out credential stuffing, and skew analytics.

API discovery and protection

Defend against API discovery and prevent attackers from mapping an application’s APIs to find endpoints and parameters used for data theft or business logic and service disruption.

Zero-day protection

Block exploit attempts of zero-day attacks before attackers execute code, steal data, or disrupt services, and adapt automatically to new attack techniques.

For Public Sector

Accelerate secure delivery of digital services
Maintain availability, confidentiality, and integrity of government digital services and defend against large-scale volumetric attacks and credential-based intrusions. With a web application firewall in front of government and public sector websites and constituent portals, an extra layer of protection is added at the application level, helping block known and emerging threats to shield citizen data and keep critical public services online and secured. 

For Banking and Insurance

Prevent unauthorized access to financial accounts

For businesses that run e-commerce sites, appointment systems, or customer portals, our VPS hosting offers better security and isolation than shared hosting, and the flexibility to install custom software and bundled SSL certificates to protect transactions and user data.

For Health and Life Sciences

Safeguard patient records and protect health and medical research portals with policy-driven protection, continuous monitoring, and automated threat mitigation while preserving access for verified health workers and patients.

For Intellectual Property

Protect intellectual property by blocking attacks that try to steal code, designs, or patents from websites and web apps by limiting requests, making it harder for attackers to copy or exfiltrate proprietary information.
