Expedited WAF

Automatically Stop Web Attacks & Prevent DDoS Disruptions

Expedited WAF sits between your application and the raw Internet, automatically blocking malicious requests, preventing DDoS attacks, and enforcing security best practices. Trashy bots, automated exploits, and attackers are looking to rip data out of your application - we stop them before they reach your code.

Key Features

• Web Intrusion Detection: Automatically block SQL Injection, XSS, CSRF, and thousands of other attack patterns before they reach your application
• DDoS Protection: Stop HTTP floods and bot attacks that would otherwise take your site offline
• Bot & Anonymous Proxy Blocking: Prevent scrapers, credential stuffing tools, and malicious automated traffic
• Security Header Enforcement: Automatically apply security headers to all responses without code changes
• SSL/TLS Enforcement: Ensure latest SSL/TLS versions and cipher suites for compliance requirements

Benefits

• Deploy comprehensive security in 15 minutes without code changes
• Stop categories of attacks, not just specific exploits - giving you breathing room between framework updates
• Meet GDPR, CCPA, PCI compliance requirements with enforced security controls
• Reduce server load by blocking malicious traffic at the edge
• Get detailed attack analytics and reporting for security audits

How It Works

Expedited WAF operates as a reverse proxy in front of your application, analyzing every request before it reaches your servers:

1. Request Analysis: Each HTTP request is inspected against thousands of attack signatures
2. Threat Detection: Malicious patterns (SQL injection, XSS, etc.) are identified in real-time
3. Automatic Blocking: Dangerous requests are blocked at the edge before reaching your application
4. Security Enforcement: Security headers and SSL/TLS settings are automatically applied
5. Clean Traffic: Only legitimate requests reach your application servers

Defense in Depth

Expedited WAF provides an additional layer of armor to your web applications:

Authentication Protection

Stop bots and anonymous proxies from connecting to your login pages. Unable to connect, attackers look for easier targets that are more likely to be vulnerable.

Update Safety Net

Django, Rails, Express, and every other web framework have an unending stream of security updates. Attackers can ship exploits faster than you can deploy updates. Expedited WAF stops categories of attacks, not just specific exploits.

Immutable Security Configuration

Too often web application security relies upon developers doing everything exactly right every single time. Expedited WAF enforces security best practices and configurations to all requests automatically.

Faster Security Features

Your backlog probably contains a dozen potential security improvements you’ll get to “next sprint” but that continually slip. Expedited WAF lets you drop in security controls today.
