Our next-gen WAF provides coverage for the top 10 security vulnerabilities that impact web applications and other Layer 7 assets, as standardized by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP)
With Fastly, customers can stop unauthorized API access and abuse that power Layer 7 attacks, without false positives, breaking applications, or frustrating users or business partners.
Fastly detects and stops account takeover (ATO) attempts at the web request, protecting customer authentication flows in applications and APIs while reducing fraud and impact on traffic resources.
Fastly’s network layer (Layer 3 and 4) and application layer (Layer 7) DDoS protection safeguards your site integrity and user experience from the negative impacts of abusive traffic.
Fastly's bot protection prevents bad bots from performing malicious actions against websites and APIs before they can negatively impact your bottom line and customer experience.
