Risk-Based Protection

Generic rule sets often fail to catch vulnerabilities unique to your application logic. By integrating continuous DAST scanning with the WAF, you automatically correlate findings to protection rules. This ensures your defense adapts dynamically to the specific risks your application faces rather than relying solely on generic signatures. ​

Integrated Platform For Website And API Security

The integrated DAST scanner is of great value to us, as it helps us look at the open vulnerabilities versus protection status

Cloak Your Infrastructure from Direct-to-Origin Attacks

Attackers often bypass security controls by discovering and targeting your origin IP directly. Acting as a reverse proxy, the WAF masks your backend servers completely so that malicious traffic hits the global edge network instead of your core infrastructure.

A fully integrated comprehensive offering providing a 360 degree view of the application security risks, actionable steps backed with 24/7 managed services to mitigate those risks instantly with the WAF and a solid team to support us with the product.

Other Platforms vs AppTrana WAF

Typical WAF Solutions Separate tools, add-ons, and manual effort
AppTrana WAF All-in-one, fully managed web application & firewall
Time-to-Risk Reduction (Close exposure fast, not "find & wait")

Typical WAF Solutions

Generic Signatures & "Log Mode"
  • Relies on generic rule sets that don't understand your specific app logic.
  • High false positive rates force teams to stay in "Learning Mode" for weeks.
  • Lack of context between Scanner and WAF leads to blind blocking.

AppTrana WAF

Zero False Positives Guaranteed
  • Risk-Based Protection: We feed built-in scanner insights into the WAF to tune rules based on actual risks, not guesses.
  • Block Mode Day One: We are so confident in our accuracy that we onboard you in Block Mode immediately.
  • Zero False Positive Guarantee: If we block legitimate traffic, we pay the penalty.
Vulnerability Remediation (Speed to Clean Report)

Typical WAF Solutions

Manual Patching & Long Exposure
  • "Virtual Patching" requires complex manual rule writing by your team.
  • Vulnerabilities often remain open for 100+ days while waiting for code fixes.
  • Audit reports remain "Red" until development cycles catch up.

AppTrana WAF

Autonomous Fixes in 72 Hours
  • SwyftComply autonomously applies virtual patches to critical vulnerabilities.
  • Delivers a Clean, Zero-Vulnerability Report within 72 hours for compliance (PCI, SOC2).
  • Patches the risk at the WAF layer instantly, buying time for your dev team.
Infrastructure Security (Origin Protection)

Typical WAF Solutions

Exposed Origin Servers
  • Many WAFs allow direct-to-IP bypass or fail to fully mask the backend.
  • Attackers can ignore the WAF and hit the server IP directly.
  • Architecture often exposes the origin to volumetric exhaustion.

AppTrana WAF

Total Origin Cloaking
  • Reverse Proxy Architecture ensures your origin server IP is never exposed to the public internet.
  • All traffic must pass through AppTrana's edge; direct-to-origin attacks are impossible.
  • Prevents infrastructure reconnaissance and targeted server exhaustion.
Business Logic Defense (Beyond OWASP Top 10)

Typical WAF Solutions

Standard Rules & DIY Config
  • Protection is limited to standard vulnerabilities (SQLi, XSS).
  • Specific business logic attacks (e.g., coupon fraud, price scraping) require complex custom rules.
  • You are responsible for writing and maintaining these rules.

AppTrana WAF

Managed Custom Rules
  • Unlimited Custom Rules written by our experts to match your specific business flows.
  • Defends against logic abuse that standard signatures miss.
  • 24/7 Managed SOC handles all rule tuning and updates for you.
