Features and capabilities

Fastly Next-Gen WAF

Our next-gen WAF is designed to detect and stop OWASP Top 10 attacks like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). We also protect against advanced web-layer attacks like account takeover (ATO) via credential stuffing, API abuse, shopping cart ID enumeration, malicious bots, and more — all in one solution.

Deploy anywhere: cloud, edge, datacenter, or hybrid environments

With a flexible software agent-module pair, our next-gen WAF is designed for rapid deployment in any environment. No matter where you operate your apps and APIs, you’ll quickly gain protection and visibility across your entire application footprint.

API and ATO protection rules

We provide dedicated API and Account Takeover (ATO) rules to help surface security telemetry for advanced attack scenarios, like user ID enumeration, credit card validation flow abuse, and password reset attempts. With dedicated visual dashboards, your security, development, and operations staff can quickly gain granular visibility into Layer 7 attacks with minimal effort.

Custom signals

Our custom signals provide increased visibility into rules and how they automatically block or allow web requests. Rules can be configured with custom signals to show why requests were blocked. Signals can be created on individual Workspaces or organization-wide so you can easily use them in multiple workspaces.

Rate limiting

Our next-gen WAF provides rate limiting capabilities that include intelligent controls to reduce the number of requests directed at key web application functions. By utilizing application-specific rate limiting rules, we can detect and mitigate fraudulent abuse of apps and APIs.

Workspace

Our workspace feature gives you the ability to manage and access security metrics for a discrete collection of apps and APIs in our next-gen WAF management console. You can group apps and APIs to suit your business requirements, like grouping apps and APIs by specific business units or production environments.

Requests per second (RPS)

RPS is a measure of the web requests our next-gen WAF inspects per second to detect and stop malicious traffic. Organizations with few apps in production benefit from our default 25 RPS, while organizations with many apps will have higher traffic volumes. We’ll work with you to ensure you have adequate request inspection volume to suit your traffic.

DDoS protection

Available to Fastly delivery customers, our DDoS Protection blocks volumetric attacks at Layer 3 and 4. Additionally, our next-gen WAF provides application layer DDoS prevention. When unexpected web request traffic exceeds your pre-defined thresholds, excessive request volumes are automatically blocked to keep your apps and APIs available to legitimate customers.

TLS encryption

Available to Fastly delivery customers, Platform TLS provides a simple way for you to configure TLS on our network using a web API. It’s fast, easy to manage, and highly scalable.
