Stop application-layer attacks with unified WAF and Layer 7
DDoS protection

Are attackers slipping past your WAF?

Traditional WAFs and DDoS tools can’t keep up with advanced application-layer threats. SQLi, XSS, and other advanced application-layer attacks bypass regex-based WAFs, while Layer 7 DDoS blends with normal traffic to cause downtime. Siloed tools create blind spots, false positives, and operational inefficiencies.

One platform, including WAF and Layer 7 DDoS

Unlike the best-of-breed approach of siloed tools, a true platform works as one–dynamically stopping application attacks and attackers as a cohesive, intelligent, integrated unit. In this ideal solution, a WAF counters the complexity of multi-vector attacks, while Layer 7 DDoS mitigates the volume.

Traditional Web Application Firewalls are Inadequate

50%

False positive rate of generated alerts

Outdated Regex or rule-based methods of detection result in a low detection accuracy rate

40,000

DDoS attacks daily

DDoS attacks are still the top incident pattern

25%

Median detection efficacy without heavy tuning

Traditional WAFs require heavy involvement and tuning for optimal efficacy; deep learning methods can help

Protect Applications with Unified, Adaptive Defenses

Deliver WAF and Layer 7 DDoS protection in an intelligent, integrated and unified platform. Use entity/transaction-based tracking, behavioral analysis, adaptive risk scoring, and a managed SOC to increase accuracy, decrease false positives, and maintain application uptime.

Protect the application ecosystem from attackers and multi-vector attacks

  • Unified WAF, bot, API, and Layer 7 DDoS defense
  • In terms of application attacks specifically, WAF counters the complexity, Layer 7 DDoS counters the volume of multi-vector attacks
  • Cross-vector correlation protects the application ecosystem effectively and efficiently

Stop attackers and attacks in real time as they evolve

  • Entity/transaction-based tracking links and correlates behavior, activity, and intent
  • Adaptive risk scoring allows agile response to evolving attacks
  • AI-enhanced detection uncovers fragmented, stealthy, or obfuscated attacks

Reduce workload on security teams and accelerate response time

  • Managed SOC allows for a continuous watchdog
  • Elevated agility and faster mean-time-to-detect and response
  • Incorporated human element greatly increases accuracy of finalized alerts

Ensure the application ecosystem is available and secure

  • Dynamic mitigation actions adjust according to adaptive risk score
  • Decryption at scale and Layer 7 DDoS protection maintains uptime of application ecosystem

“As a CISO, knowing that my team doesn’t have to spend time worrying about attacks against dozens of our websites is a huge relief for me. I’m confident we have the right technology and the right people watching that even if something bad does happen, ThreatX has our back.”
