Fastly Next-Gen WAF vs. Cisco Umbrella

The Fastly Next-Gen WAF offers strong defense for applications, APIs, and microservices, regardless of where they are hosted, through an integrated solution. It provides extensive reporting and alerting features that improve visibility at Layer 7 throughout your application and API ecosystem. By smoothly integrating with both your DevOps and security workflows, it promotes data sharing and correlation that streamline automation, which in turn helps to minimize security risks and quicken CI/CD processes. Utilizing SmartParse, a sophisticated detection method, the system evaluates the context of each incoming request to effectively recognize potentially harmful or suspicious payloads. This cutting-edge strategy requires minimal adjustments and supports rapid threat identification. Moreover, it protects against account takeover (ATO) threats by analyzing web requests and connecting abnormal behavior to possible malicious activities, thereby ensuring a heightened level of security for your digital properties. This forward-thinking strategy not only bolsters security measures but also fosters trust in the durability of your applications, ultimately contributing to a more secure digital environment. As organizations increasingly rely on cloud-based infrastructure, the importance of such robust security solutions becomes even more critical.

Are you ensuring compliance with your internal policies regarding acceptable internet use? Additionally, are you mandated by law to adhere to internet safety regulations such as CIPA? With Umbrella, you can efficiently control your users' internet access by implementing category-based content filtering, enforcing allow/block lists, and mandating SafeSearch browsing. This comprehensive approach not only enhances security but also promotes a safer online environment for all users.
