The cybersecurity threat landscape is ever-changing and evolving, with bad actors implementing increasingly sophisticated strategies to evade detection. However, many security teams struggle to adapt their detection strategies at the same pace. Supporting advanced threat detection requires organizations to invest in consistent threat research and detection engineering. Without that, they cannot develop the high-quality detections needed to target the latest threats.

Building and scaling trust has become more difficult for organizations of all sizes. With more reliance on third-party vendors and AI technologies, security leaders face an increasingly complex threat landscape. However, many teams are left to manage this complicated landscape with screenshots, spreadsheets, and legacy solutions that rely on manual updates and limit them to point-in-time visibility into their security posture.

In today’s ever-evolving threat landscape, organizations face numerous security challenges that necessitate a shift from traditional web application firewalls (WAFs) to next-generation solutions. This article aims to highlight the failures of traditional WAFs, contrast them with the capabilities of next-gen WAFs, and emphasize the crucial need for API security in the current digital ecosystem.

Our always-on DDoS protection runs inside every server across our global network. It constantly analyzes incoming traffic, looking for signals associated with previously identified DDoS attacks. We dynamically create fingerprints to flag malicious traffic, which is dropped when detected in high enough volume — so it never reaches its destination — keeping customer websites online. In many cases, flagging bad traffic can be straightforward.
