Native, Real-Time Blocking
Block attacks in real time without integrating with a WAF or API gateway
Get the ability to discover, detect, track, and block attackers all with a single solution.
There’s nothing more frustrating than the challenge of bolting solutions together only for latency or misconfiguration to miss real attacks. That’s why it was so important to architect a solution that could quickly protect, out-of-the-box against a wide range of threats.
Furthermore, with ThreatX’s risk-based approach to blocking, false positives and alert fatigue will become problems of the past.

Bot Console & Analytics
Monitor all bot & botnet activity, at scale – without wading through complex dashboards
Stay ahead of advancing bots and botnets with real-time visibility and protection that evolves with changes in behavior. ThreatX’s botnet console & analytics provide an overview of all detected bot activity within one dashboard, allowing security teams to quickly identify the largest and most risky botnets generating malicious automated traffic. Track changes in attack behavior by drilling into analytics for specific botnets, and identify which bots are generating the most noise or growing in intensity.

Always-Active API Security for DevSecOps
Combined runtime observability and vulnerability detection with dynamic API testing
Unlike other API testing solutions, ThreatX’s patent pending always-active API security capabilities are powered by ThreatX’s eBPF-based sensors, enabling DevSecOps to detect and remediate vulnerabilities earlier, while protecting APIs.
ThreatX Runtime API and application protection enables your DevOps teams to persistently detect vulnerability based on runtime traffic behavior and trigger targeted dynamic tests to remediate vulnerable APIs faster, and more effectively.
