Netherlands, Tuesday, 17 September 2024.
Gcore introduces WAAP, an AI-driven security solution for web applications and APIs. This innovative platform combines firewall, DDoS protection, bot management, and API security into a single, user-friendly interface, enhancing cybersecurity measures across Europe.
Enhanced Cybersecurity for Europe
Gcore, a leading provider of edge AI, cloud, network, and security solutions, has launched its new AI-driven web application and API security platform, Gcore WAAP. Based in Luxembourg, Gcore aims to bolster cybersecurity across Europe with this comprehensive solution that integrates four powerful products: web application firewall (WAF), DDoS protection at the application layer, bot management, and API security. This suite of tools is managed through an intuitive user interface, making it accessible for businesses of all sizes.
How Gcore WAAP Works
The Gcore WAAP platform leverages advanced AI capabilities to provide end-to-end protection for web applications and APIs. The web application firewall (WAF) is designed to block common online threats, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). DDoS protection prevents large-scale attacks that can cripple a website by overwhelming it with traffic. The bot management system identifies and mitigates malicious bot activities, ensuring that only legitimate traffic reaches the application. Lastly, the API security feature safeguards against API-specific vulnerabilities, a critical component as APIs become increasingly integral to modern web applications.
User-Friendly and Comprehensive
One of the standout features of Gcore WAAP is its user-friendly interface, which allows users to easily manage and monitor their security settings. The platform provides detailed analytics and reporting capabilities, enabling users to track and understand traffic patterns and potential threats. This level of visibility is crucial for diagnosing issues and optimizing security measures. Additionally, the platform’s intuitive design ensures that even those with limited technical expertise can effectively use the tools.
Global Impact and Compliance
Gcore’s extensive global infrastructure supports the WAAP platform, with operational centers in major cities worldwide, including Frankfurt, New York, and Sydney. This global reach ensures that the platform can provide robust security services to clients irrespective of their location. Furthermore, Gcore WAAP is designed to help businesses comply with stringent data protection regulations, such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Digital Services Act (DSA). By integrating compliance into its core functionalities, Gcore WAAP not only enhances security but also helps businesses avoid potential legal and financial penalties.
