Extend and Modernize Application Protection with WAAP Solution
Our world runs on apps, and as their architectures evolve, cloud adoption soars, and workloads extend to the edge, the application attack surface keeps growing. This means application security is business security.
Traditional defenses like web firewalls and DDoS protection just don't cut it anymore. To fend off automated attacks, bots, and API threats, organizations need real-time defenses powered by machine learning, ensuring comprehensive SaaS security for all web and mobile apps — wherever they are deployed — without slowing down business operations.

Think about it: every day, we interact with hundreds of APIs, from Google Maps to payment gateways like PayPal. But securing these APIs is tough, especially as their numbers skyrocket. By 2031, we’re looking at over a billion APIs! Attackers know this and are increasingly targeting APIs automatically. With the rise of generative AI, automated security policies and configurations will be game changers. In this vast and complex landscape, robust API security is essential to safeguarding your business.
