- Bots stopped automatically
- Every block explained

BSI C5The attack looks like a customer. Link11 decides per request.
Bot traffic and layer 7 floods look like customers until revenue drops. Web Application Security tells the two apart, for websites, APIs and automated traffic in one protection layer.
Attacks dressed as trafficAn application-layer attack uses perfectly valid requests. At the network layer there is nothing to see.
Web Application Firewall
Built for browsersClassic web defenses check browsers and forms. An API has neither — abuse looks like normal use.
API Security
Captchas stop nobodyModern bots solve captchas automatically, spoof browsers and imitate human behavior.
Bot Management
Valid, but too muchEvery single request is correct. Only volume and sequence turn them into an attack.
Web DDoS Protection

Stops bots. Not your customers.
Customers get through. Scrapers and credential stuffing do not.
- Verification most users never notice
- Monitor, allow or block bot categories
- Stop scraping, credential stuffing, inventory denial
The flood ends before your app.
Your origin stays online when floods of valid requests arrive.
- Stop HTTP floods and Slowloris before the origin
- Evaluate sequences, not just single calls
- Mitigation scales with the attack
One pass, a fixed order. Your server only sees what gets through.
- Request arrivesA DNS change routes traffic through the platform, which sits as a reverse proxy in front of your application.
- Inspected in one passGlobal Filters, Flow Control, rate limits, ACL profiles and content filtering run in the documented order.
- Decision is madeBlock, challenge, monitor or allow — the security policy decides per path.
- Forwarded to the originAllowed requests go on to your backend. Every decision stays readable in the Events Log.
