Web Protection
HTTP floods, bots, and credential stuffing stopped at the edge by request fingerprinting, rate intelligence, and a composable WAF. Real users never notice.
Inside Web Protection
Four deep-dive pages cover the application layer, from the WAF to AI scoring
Web Application Firewall
A composable flow rules engine at the edge: rate limit, block, challenge, or transform every request per route.
Bot Protection
Fingerprinting, behavioral scoring, and intelligent challenges that stop scrapers and credential stuffing without SDKs.
API Protection
Per-endpoint rate limits, path-based rules, CORS, and method restrictions, declared at the edge with no code changes.
AI Threat Detection
Machine learning that models your normal traffic and scores every request, escalating from monitoring to challenges to blocks.
What It Stops
HTTP Floods
Request floods are identified by fingerprint and behavior rather than volume alone, so distributed attacks that mimic real browsers still get caught. The tell is in how a client speaks, not how loudly.
Slowloris & Slow Attacks
Connection timeout analysis and header completion tracking neutralize slow-connection attacks before pools exhaust. Half a request, forever, gets disconnected before it costs a worker.
Bots & Credential Stuffing
Session scoring and challenges stop automated abuse while trusted visitors pass through untouched. Only suspicious sessions ever see a challenge.
Scrapers & AI Crawlers
Block or challenge automated user agents, including AI scrapers, with wildcard matching and per-IP rate limits. Your content stays yours to give away on purpose, not by default.
The Life of a Request
Every request takes the same short path through the edge before it ever reaches you
Arrive at the Nearest Edge
The global network lands each request at the closest point of presence, so judgment happens near the client instead of in front of your origin.
Fingerprint & Score
Connection fingerprints and behavioral signals identify the real client behind the request, with zero added latency for the ones that check out.
Rules Apply Per Route
Your flow rules run against the path: rate limits, blocks, headers, CORS, caching. The login page and the data API each get exactly the policy you wrote for them.
Serve, Challenge, or Block
Clean traffic is served from cache when possible or forwarded to your origin; suspicious sessions meet an edge-served challenge; abuse stops here and is never billed.
Live in Minutes
Protection that deploys like a DNS change, because it is one
Point Your DNS
Traffic reaches the edge first and only clean requests reach your origin. There is no procurement cycle and no appliance; deployment takes minutes.
No SDKs, No Agents
Nothing to install and no code changes. Challenges are served from the edge with no third-party scripts or external dependencies.
Passive First
Graduated protection modes let the edge observe before it enforces, escalating from monitoring to challenges to blocking only as threat conditions require.
Every Feature, Every Plan
Fingerprinting, the WAF, bot challenges, and AI scoring all ship together. Nothing is held back for a higher tier and nothing is priced per feature.
Real Users Never Notice
Fingerprinting is integrated with zero added latency, and only suspicious sessions ever advance to a challenge. Your users experience your product; the pipeline stays backstage.
Attacks Cost You Nothing
Malicious requests are filtered at the edge and excluded from your bill entirely. You pay for the traffic you wanted, at usage-based rates, and the flood is our problem.
