DDoS Mitigation
Stop SQLi, LFI, XSS, and other Layer 7 attacks
Prevent SQL injection (SQLi), local file inclusion (LFI), cross-site scripting (XSS), and other Layer 7 attacks to enhance data security, application integrity, and user protection.
Encrypt “East-West” communication within the data center to prevent passive spying
Protect data from unauthorized monitoring or eavesdropping as it flows among servers, applications, and services within the same data center environment.
Add SSO to any OpenID Connect-compatible provider
Integrating SSO via OpenID Connect simplifies and centralizes authentication to help mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and credential theft while scaling authentication services to a growing user base.
Maximize cryptography performance and maintain backward compatibility with dual-stack RSA/ECC
ECC uses smaller key sizes than RSA to achieve equivalent security levels, with faster encryption and decryption operations and reduced bandwidth and storage requirements.
Restrict API access using JWT Tokens
Use JWT tokens (JSON Web Tokens) for API authentication to implement secure and scalable authentication mechanisms for APIs while providing fine-grained access control based on user identity and permissions.
Impose bandwidth and rate limits to lessen service and network abuse
Restrict the amount of traffic that a user or IP address can transmit or receive within a certain timeframe to prevent malicious actors from monopolizing network resources, exhausting resources, and degrading service quality.
