WHITE PAPER

Escape the Black Box of Security Visibility with Signals

Legacy web application firewalls (WAFs) have historically placed their decisioning technology in a black box, preventing customers from understanding why traffic was blocked and limiting what they can do with it. Fastly lets security teams see and organize their traffic in an entirely different way. While legacy WAFs limit your vision and capabilities, our NGWAF (next-generation WAF) shines a spotlight and lets you take the reins thanks to a feature we call signals.

Dive deep into Fastly's signals technology and learn how practitioner-focused user experiences can elevate your security and devops workflows.

This paper will cover:

  • Four major aspects of signals
  • How signals can be utilized at the edge
  • Real-world use cases from our customers
