Web Application Firewall
Enterprise Web Application Firewall
Enterprise-grade WAF protecting your apps at the edge.
The Challenge
Modern applications are under constant attack from SQL injection, XSS, and zero-day vulnerabilities. Traditional firewalls are too slow to update and require constant manual tuning.
The ZTLayer Solution
Our WAF sits at the edge, inspecting every request in real-time. It blocks malicious payloads automatically with zero configuration required on your part.
Architecture
Incoming traffic routes through our Anycast network. Our Rust-based inspection engine evaluates request headers, body, and IP reputation within 5ms. Clean traffic is forwarded to your origin; malicious traffic is dropped instantly.
Best Practices
- Enable OWASP Top 10 ruleset by default.
- Use simulated mode first to monitor false positives before enforcing.
- Configure custom rules for your specific application paths.
Enterprise Use Cases
- E-commerce checkouts requiring strict payload validation.
- SaaS APIs exposed to public internet.
- Legacy applications unable to be easily patched.
