Web Application (WAF) and API Security

Defending against exploits, bot attacks, and zero-day vulnerabilities in Web Applications and APIs

The Challenge

Applications are the lifeblood of modern business, but they are also a prime target for attackers. From web apps to APIs, attackers exploit vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weak authentication to gain access to sensitive data. Traditional perimeter defences are no longer enough to stop zero-days, bot attacks, and sophisticated exploitation techniques.

Our Approach

01

Web application firewalls (WAFs)

Blocking common threats such as SQL injection and XSS.

02

API security

Protecting exposed APIs from misuse and exploitation.

03

Bot management

Preventing automated fraud, scraping, and credential stuffing.

04

Secure development lifecycle

Integrating security into DevOps workflows.

05

Runtime protection

Defending live applications from zero-day and advanced attacks.
