We wanted to expand our DDoS protection to protect ourselves from DDoS attacks and be future-proof. Link11 works with artificial intelligence and automation in DDoS defense and thus meets this challenge.

Matthias Strobel

Geschäftsführer Bank-Verlag

The threat of a DDoS attack is real and we had to adapt and increase our protection bandwidths. Link11 has better algorithms for an optimized response in the event of an attack and is therefore much more reliable. Now we feel we are on the safe side.

Link11 WAAP –
Four Solutions
‍in One Cutting-Edge Platform

As cyberattacks become more sophisticated and security talent becomes scarcer, a streamlined, user-friendly solution is essential. With our cloud based WAAP, you get four robust security products in a unified platform in a single pane of glass.

Our Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects against all vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP Top 10, as well as threats such as: Code and SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting and Malicious Payloads. Unlike traditional approaches that rely solely on signature detection and IP blocking, Link11’s WAF includes advanced defenses such as allowed application enumeration and granular access controls (ACLs).

Link11 provides comprehensive protection against Layer 7 DDoS attacks. Web DDoS Protection provides protection against a wide range of DDoS attack methods, including HTTP floods, Slowloris attacks, application-specific attacks and zero-day vulnerability exploitation.

Link11 provides a platform with powerful bot management that filters unwanted bot traffic before it reaches your applications or APIs. Our solution prevents data theft, scraping, credential stuffing, brute force attacks, application abuse, vulnerability scanning and inventory theft and protects your systems from unwanted access and disruption.

APIs are common targets due to their widespread use and often inconsistent maintenance. Link11’s API protection closes these security gaps and provides comprehensive protection for your web-based APIs. Our solution protects against a wide range of API attacks, including the OWASP Top 10 API security risks.
