Fastly’s global network is built to absorb DDoS attacks, allowing you to respond in real-time.  Filter malicious requests at the network edge - before they get near your origin. Our Next-Gen WAF lets you implement advanced bot protection at the edge to eliminate excessive abuse and misuse of resources that power fraudulent activity, such as account takeover or application DDoS.
