One managed edge layer covering WAF rules, caching, and threat response—maintained, tuned, and monitored for you.
Managed WAF FAQs for software vendors
-
It offloads rule writing, bot tuning, DDoS mitigation, and 24/7 monitoring to a specialist team. You get continuous protection for web and API endpoints without your developers maintaining signatures, rate limits, or attack playbooks.
-
We combine global scrubbing, behavioural bot detection, and per-tenant rate limiting. Bad traffic is filtered before it hits your origin, while good users and search crawlers are allowed through. We tune rules to reduce false positives for your specific app flows.
-
Yes. We configure CDN, cache keys, TTLs, and image optimisation so your edge stays fast and fresh. That means faster page loads, lower origin load, and fewer cache-related incidents during releases.
-
We validate against OpenAPI/JSON schemas, enforce positive security models, and block OWASP API threats. We also monitor anomalies in request patterns and auth failures, then tune rules to protect both legacy APIs and new microservices.
-
We typically stand up protection in days: point DNS/CNAME to our edge, baseline traffic, deploy standard WAF rules, then iterate bot, DDoS, CDN, and API policies with your team. Full tuning usually completes in the first 2–4 weeks.
