Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) by Cequence Security is a cloud-based product designed to provide integrated protection for both applications and APIs. It is an all-in-one tool that combines aspects of bot management, API security, Web Application Firewall (WAF), and protection against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. WAAP seeks to protect users from data loss, theft, fraud, and other damages by preventing the full range of bot attacks. With its API security feature, the tool enables the discovery, monitoring, testing of APIs and assesses a broad range of risks that can potentially lead to compliance and governance issues, data loss, and business disruption. The built-in Web Application Firewall strengthens protection by offering a comprehensive set of rules and policies, including protection against SQL injection attacks. DDoS protection is put in place to defend against large-scale DDoS attacks which could potentially incapacitate APIs and business operations. WAAP relies on a single cloud deployment for all its integrated components, offering several benefits such as improved operational efficiency due to a unified protection portal, reduced latency, and reduced risk due to eliminating coverage gaps caused by inconsistent traffic routing.
