FASTLY UNVEILS EDGE DEPLOYMENT OPTION FOR INDUSTRY’S MAIDEN UNIFIED WAF

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 9 (Bernama) -- Fastly Inc, the world’s fastest global edge cloud network provider, announced the launch of the edge deployment option for the Fastly Next-Gen WAF (powered by Signal Sciences).

According to a statement, this marks a key milestone in integrating Signal Sciences’ award-winning trusted web application firewall (WAF) technology with Fastly’s edge cloud network.

The unified offering protects applications and APIs anywhere they live, and can deploy across the broadest range of architectures - from containers, to on-prem, to the cloud and now to the edge, all from a single solution.

“The extension of Signal Sciences’ powerful WAF technology to include Fastly’s high-performance edge network is an incredibly exciting milestone for us,” said Fastly Chief Executive Officer, Joshua Bixby.

“With Compute@Edge powering Fastly’s Next-Gen WAF extension to the edge, customers get security everywhere that stops unwanted activity from impacting their services and the speed, scale, and stability of our edge network.”

With other market offerings, businesses are forced to manage different WAF products, depending on their varied deployment needs. This can be resource-intensive and add to complexity and tool sprawl.

However, Fastly Next-Gen WAF customers enjoy a high-efficacy, single-solution WAF that can deploy at the edge and alongside many other install options. All these deployments can be managed within a single platform with a consolidated view of security data, unlocking visibility across an organisation’s entire app and API footprint.

In addition to high-impact integrations with security and DevOps tooling, the Fastly Next-Gen WAF brings unmatched flexibility and value to customers, including Trusted technology teams actually use; Rapid deployment in hours, not weeks or months; and, Next-generation technology.
