SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.,
Feb. 1, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Limelight (Nasdaq: LLNW), a leading provider
of content delivery and AppOps at the edge, today announced
the release of its Layer0 Security Platform, significantly
enhancing its capabilities in the $4.4B web CDN and security market it entered in
November. A fully PCI-compliant solution, Layer0 Security protects
customers against OWASP Top 10 security risks, SQL injection,
cross-site scripting, PHP injection, bot attacks, DDoS attacks, and
other threats.
Limelight has been delivering secure content for more than two
decades and, as the threat landscape becomes increasingly
sophisticated, companies need seamless, automated solutions to
simplify development, enhance experience and lessen time to market.
With Layer0 Security, developers get comprehensive security at
scale without the need to manually integrate it into their edge
logic. The new security platform runs natively on Limelight's
backbone and is fully integrated within the Layer0 platform, which
allows teams to ship up to twice as fast and deliver sub-second
websites.
"Businesses today face growing security threats
including targeted attacks to bring down websites, impact
performance and steal information," said John Swedlund, Product Manager for AppOps and
Security at Limelight. "We're taking the necessary steps to ensure
our clients have the ability to quickly deploy security products
and keep applications safe."
Layer0 Security services and features include:
- Web Application Firewall: The Layer0 WAF managed rule
sets protect applications and APIs against security exploits by
monitoring, filtering, and blocking malicious traffic. Developers
can enable these as broad rule groups or on a rule-by-rule basis to
stop attackers in their tracks.
- Bot Management: A set of Bot Management rules allow
teams to quickly deploy, detect, and manage a wide variety of bots
that query apps and consume valuable resources. Developers can use
these bot rules to allow good bots through and block bad bots if
the traffic is unwanted.
- DDoS Protection: Limelight's high-bandwidth, globally
distributed network is built to inspect and repel a wide variety of
network layer DDoS attacks. To keep resources healthy and preserve
the integrity of applications, it provides advanced cloud-based
protection to ensure an always-secure online experience.
- Easy, Fast Deployment: The Layer0 Security platform runs
natively on the highly-performant Limelight backbone and Layer0
customers have a single pane of glass to control all of their
services, including the new security features.
This combination of security services offers a layered
defense against malicious website attacks and unauthorized content
access without impacting the performance of web applications and
content delivery. More information on the Layer0 Security
Platform is available here.
