Key Features

DDoS Protection: According to the vendor, this platform offers advanced protection against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. It utilizes machine learning and adaptive defense mechanisms to detect and mitigate both new and existing threats. Customers have the option to activate it as a standalone feature or as part of the Full-stack Protection service.

Bot Protection: The platform is designed to identify and classify bot traffic, distinguishing between good and bad bots. It blocks access to websites by bad bots while allowing desirable bots, such as search engines, to pass through. The vendor claims that this feature helps prevent website overload and improves overall performance.

Web Application Firewall (WAF): The Threat Protection Platform includes a web application firewall that protects web applications from known and emerging threats, including the OWASP top 10 attacks. Leveraging machine learning, it identifies vulnerabilities and automates protection as applications change. Additionally, it provides real-time monitoring, logging, reporting, and statistics on attempted attacks.

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): According to the vendor, this platform inspects network traffic in detail to detect and block malicious traffic. It effectively prevents compromises by stopping SQL injection attacks and other application and OS vulnerabilities. Seamless integration with other modules in the Threat Protection Platform ensures comprehensive protection.

Application Performance: The platform aims to optimize website and application performance, enhancing user experience. It speeds up loading times, improves overall responsiveness, and reduces resource usage, potentially increasing efficiency.

Threat Intelligence: The Threat Protection Platform collects threat data from a global sensor network to continuously refine its security services. The vendor claims that it provides valuable insights and knowledge to enhance the efficiency of the service, enabling proactive detection and mitigation of potential threats.

24/7 Threat Hunting: The platform proactively searches for new and zero-day threats on behalf of customers. An elite team of threat hunters works around the clock to enhance the intelligence feed of the Threat Protection Platform. This feature aims to ensure that customers stay protected against evolving cyber threats.

Real-time Monitoring and Reporting: The platform offers a customer portal for easy configuration and real-time monitoring of traffic and data. It provides comprehensive dashboards, graphs, and statistics on traffic flows and attempted attacks, enabling the creation of detailed reports with executive summaries.

Scalability and Flexibility: Delivered from the cloud on a subscription basis, the Threat Protection Platform eliminates the need for hardware or large upfront investments. It allows organizations to scale up or down their protection needs as required and offers different deployment methods, including always-on or always-available options.
