Haltdos
What it is
Haltdos provides security and delivery solutions for web applications and APIs across on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments. Its Enterprise WAF protects websites and APIs against OWASP Top 10 attacks, known vulnerabilities, and zero-day vulnerabilities. It includes more than 4,000 signatures, machine-learning-based zero-day protection, file-upload antivirus scanning and sandboxing, and Layer 3 to Layer 7 DDoS protection. An API gateway provides authentication, rate limiting, transformation, and observability. Enterprise WAF also includes bot detection and mitigation, device fingerprinting, mobile SDK protection, JavaScript and CAPTCHA challenges, and deception technology. Logging, analytics and dashboards, SIEM integration, and PCI compliance reporting are listed as well. Deployment options include SaaS, virtual, hardware, or MSSP, with on-premise and public or private cloud deployments. Community WAF runs on a VM, Docker, or hardware and requires at least 2 GB RAM, 60 GB disk space, and 2 vCPU cores. Community WAF is free for one website and one security profile. Professional WAF costs $30 a month, billed at each monthly period’s end based on requests processed; the first 100K requests are free and websites are unlimited. A free trial is listed.
