Its primary purpose is to deliver next-generation web application firewall (WAF) capabilities, integrated directly into a high-performance content delivery and edge compute network. By inspecting and filtering traffic close to end users, Fastly helps organizations reduce risk, improve performance, and maintain availability under attack.
Key features include a next-gen WAF with advanced rule sets, behavioral analysis, and support for both legacy and modern application architectures. Fastly provides DDoS mitigation, bot detection and management, TLS/SSL termination, and rate limiting to safeguard against volumetric and application-layer attacks. Security policies can be managed via API or UI, with versioned configurations, granular controls, and real-time logging and observability for rapid incident response. Integration with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code workflows enables teams to treat security as code, promoting consistent enforcement across environments.
