Keep websites, applications and APIs resilient against exploitation and automated abuse. Build layered protection around the services your customers and teams rely on.
Illustrative example only, not live data
Your application estate extends beyond a website. APIs connect services, bots interact with customer journeys, and third-party scripts run in visitors’ browsers. Each creates a different path to data, accounts and business processes.
Application security brings these risks into one coordinated programme. Combine visibility, testing and secure development with controls that inspect production traffic, identify abuse and help maintain service availability. Prioritise protection around the transactions that matter most.
Talk to our teamInspect application traffic and apply controls to suspicious requests and known attack patterns.
Address account abuse, unwanted automation and threats to sensitive browser interactions.
Prepare applications and response teams to handle disruptive traffic and changing attack behaviour.
Six connected areas, scoped to your organisation and delivered by people who understand the business context behind the controls.
Inspect HTTP and HTTPS requests to help block injection, cross-site scripting and other application attacks. Tune policy to the application and use virtual patching where suitable while developers address underlying vulnerabilities.
Ask about thisBuild visibility of exposed and undocumented endpoints. Review sensitive data flows, schemas and access patterns, then combine runtime detection with authentication, authorisation and API testing.
Ask about thisAssess automated traffic using behavioural and technical signals. Apply proportionate responses to scraping, credential attacks and transaction abuse while accommodating legitimate users and useful automation.
Ask about thisPlan protection for application-layer disruption and assess network-layer needs separately. Combine appropriate mitigation, rate controls and origin protection with a tested escalation process.
Ask about thisUnderstand the scripts active in sensitive browser journeys. Monitor unexpected changes and data destinations to help identify harmful third-party behaviour and potential browser-side data exposure.
Ask about thisBring request events, policy decisions and attack trends into a usable operational view. Integrate appropriate alerts with your monitoring and response processes, with agreed ownership and escalation.
Ask about thisBring consistent policy to customer portals, business websites and other internet-facing services.
Identify exposed endpoints and prioritise the services carrying sensitive data or enabling critical transactions.
Address credential abuse, scraping and automated misuse in the context of the business process.
Assess controls across hosting environments, traffic routing and origins. Validate integration and deployment options against each application’s architecture.
Identify applications, APIs, origins, owners and critical journeys. Review existing controls and exposure.
Assess business impact and threat scenarios. Choose proportionate controls and agree responsibilities.
Introduce policies in stages. Test legitimate transactions, attack scenarios and the response to service disruption.
Review attack activity, false positives and application changes. Feed findings into engineering and incident response.
Protect sign-in and account journeys with application controls, automation management and coordinated identity safeguards.
Address unwanted scraping, automated purchasing and abuse of transaction flows while testing the impact on genuine customers.
Reduce blind spots around public and undocumented APIs. Review object-level authorisation and sensitive responses alongside runtime protection.
Prepare for disruptive traffic, confirm origin exposure and exercise escalation routes before an incident affects a critical service.
Choose an illustrative attack path to see the role of different controls. This demonstration uses fictional traffic and does not show live detections.
A matching WAF rule blocks the example request. The application owner checks whether the underlying code needs remediation and validates that legitimate requests still succeed.
The example response applies a challenge or targeted restriction. Identity controls, multi-factor authentication and credential hygiene remain essential parts of account protection.
Runtime monitoring highlights the example behaviour for review. Authorisation must still be enforced in the API; the response team validates the issue and coordinates containment with developers.
Web application and API protection, often called WAAP, brings together capabilities such as a WAF, API protection, bot management and DDoS defence. The required combination depends on your estate and risk profile.
No. A WAF provides a useful production control, but it does not replace secure design, access control, code review, dependency management or penetration testing. Business logic and authorisation flaws need additional assessment.
A suitable rule can reduce exposure to some attacks while a fix is developed. This is often called virtual patching. It does not remove the flaw from the application and needs testing, monitoring and eventual remediation.
Establish a baseline, test critical journeys and tune controls before enforcing them broadly. Use scoped exceptions and proportionate challenges, then review false positives as user behaviour and applications change.
No. Gateways manage routing and often authentication, quotas and policies. API security adds visibility and threat detection, while the application must correctly enforce permissions and business rules.
A complete programme combines production protection with security testing and remediation. Agree the scope of application and API testing separately from traffic inspection and mitigation.
These controls can support security requirements and evidence gathering, including relevant payment and information security controls. Compliance depends on the full environment, processes and applicable assessment requirements.
Discuss your application estate, critical customer journeys and current protection. Identify the controls and validation work that will make the greatest difference.
