Why ThreatX Might Be a Fit for Your Organization
Prospects often come to us frustrated with how disjointed their WAF, API, and bot protection solutions are in large platforms like Akamai. Getting a clear picture of all of the threats at the edge and at runtime requires multiple product licenses and more infrastructure to manage. ThreatX offers a simpler and more practical approach.
ThreatX customers often value best-of-breed protection, simple management and deployment, along with the partnership they form with our Protection-as-a-Service team as an extension of theirs. Our platform is cloud-native and easily protects APIs and apps across any mix of cloud infrastructure.
