Protection From the Edge to Runtime
Secure APIs and apps from bots, runtime threats, and sophisticated attacks within one easy-to-use platform
Unlike other solutions, ThreatX is a fully integrated API and application protection platform blocking a broad range of threats, including botnets, DDoS attacks, multi-vector attacks, zero days, east/west threats, and more.
ThreatX Edge protection enables your team to automatically discover your APIs, detect and track threats, and block attacks in real-time – or alert security, if that’s your preference.
However, threats to APIs and apps extend well beyond the edge. That’s why ThreatX Runtime protection provides coverage for zero day vulnerabilities, rootkits, east-west traffic, and other OS-level exploits.
