Analyzes the characteristics of every request in real time at the edge for faster detection
Learns attack patterns by leveraging both local and global data to make customer-specific protection adjustments
Adapts to future threats, which ensures updated protections even as attacks evolve
How does it work?
It extends security beyond the data center while maintaining site performance and availability in the face of fast-changing threats. It leverages the power of the Akamai Intelligent Platform™ to detect, identify and mitigate attacks before they ever reach the origin.
A highly scalable Web Application Firewall (WAF) that protects against application-layer attacks in HTTP and HTPS traffic, such as SQL injections and cross-site scripting (XSS), remote file inclusion and more.
Adaptive Security Engine alleviates the burden of time-consuming, manual tuning with zero-touch updates for a nearly hands-off experience, improving detections by 2x and reducing false positives by 5x. Security professionals can be heroes again, with more time to focus on enabling secure — and customer-friendly — digital business operations.

WAF Rules: Develops and updates WAF rules continually to address new and emerging web application attacks, such as SQL injections, cross site scripting, remote file inclusion and more.
Application-Layer Controls: A collection of pre-defined, configurable application-layer firewall rules address categories such as Protocol Violations, Request Limit Violations, HTTP Policy Violations and more. You can also create policy-based rules enforced after the execution of application layer controls.
Adaptive Rate Controls: Automatically protect applications against application-layer DDoS and other volumetric attacks by monitoring and controlling the rate of requests against them.
Network-Layer Controls: Automatically drop network-layer DDoS attacks at the network edge.
Site Shield: Cloak your origin from the public Internet to further protect against direct-to-origin attacks without impeding quick, reliable content delivery
Logging: Increase your threat posture awareness by integrating WAF event logs with your security information and event management (SIEM) or other reporting solution through the Log Delivery
