WAF Insights: Web Security for Everyone

About The Author

Outline

We are pleased to announce the launch of WAF Insights. This new security package is simple to use, easy to deploy, and delivers excellent value for investment. WAF Insights lowers the security barrier, making it possible to secure all your applications on the internet. With an estimated 83% of enterprise apps having at least one security flaw and the average web app being attacked 20,000 times in the first two months of 2020, the need for universal web application security has never been greater. WAF Insights is powered with the same managed ruleset we maintain and update to protect banks, e-commerce, travel and hospitality, trading platforms, and other Fortune 500 companies. It has built-in DDoS protection and powerful analytics with a 7-day history, so you can conveniently get the data you need for root cause analysis and threat and bug hunting. While WAF Insights is an entry-level WAF, it’s powered by an enterprise-grade threat intelligence and WAF engine with a feature set that strengthens your security and improves productivity. WAF Insights protects you with these out-of-the-box features, including:
  • Security Application Manager (SAM): Define and enforce granular WAF rules by a specific domain with the power to share configurations across your entire application ecosystem, saving you time and improving time to protection and accuracy.
  • Access Control Rules: Create a custom list of bad actors that should be denied across all your web applications using the WAF.
  • Rate Limiting Rules: Configure rate thresholds and enforce security based on request rates.
  • Managed Rules: State-of-the-art protection based on industry standards and proprietary rules kept up to date by our security experts monitoring the web 24 x 7.
  • Security Dashboard: Provides seven days of full-resolution historical data showing the variety, frequency, and severity of malicious traffic with detailed visualizations and information about the attack types.
With this robust feature set in an easy-to-consume package, WAF Insights immediately improves your security posture in any of these situations.

You have experienced a DDoS attack

DDoS attacks are impacting customers from every vertical. They are growing in reach and complexity, attacking networks, applications, and APIs. Turn on WAF Insights to leverage our built-in DDoS and Rate Limiting technology to protect your online business. This powerful, always-on DDoS solution includes Layer 3, 4, and 7 protection.
