Best Web Application Firewalls (WAF) for Fastly

The Fastly Next-Gen WAF delivers robust protection for applications, APIs, and microservices, irrespective of their location, all through a cohesive solution. It features comprehensive reporting and alerting mechanisms that enhance Layer 7 visibility across your entire application and API landscape. By integrating seamlessly with your DevOps and security toolchains, it facilitates data sharing and correlation, which simplifies automation processes, thereby reducing security vulnerabilities and accelerating CI/CD workflows. Employing SmartParse, a highly precise detection technique, the system assesses the context of each request to identify potential malicious or unusual payloads effectively. This innovative method allows for minimal tuning requirements and enables immediate threat detection. Additionally, it safeguards against account takeover (ATO) incidents by scrutinizing web requests and linking unusual behavior with potential malicious actions, ensuring a higher level of security for your digital assets. This proactive approach not only enhances security but also instills confidence in your overall application resilience.
