Shield WAF
Shield is the only WAF wired into your own scanner — so the vulnerabilities Sectora finds in your app become precise patches at the edge, automatically and proven-blocked, while your team ships the real fix. It sits between your users and your origin with under-50ms added latency, blocking attacks in real time, with virtual patching, API schema enforcement, and AI-endpoint protection in one dashboard.

Scanner-Informed Virtual Patching
Sectora owns both the scanner and the WAF — so when a DAST scan finds a real hole in YOUR app (SQL injection, XSS, a CORS misconfiguration, insecure cookies, broken auth), Shield compiles a precise virtual patch and deploys it at the edge in seconds. Patches are parameter-scoped — they block the exact vulnerable parameter on the exact endpoint and method, nothing else — and span both request-blocking and response-layer fixes: neutralizing unsafe CORS headers and hardening cookies, not just filtering inbound traffic. No code change, no redeploy. Newly disclosed CVEs are auto-patched the same way.
Verified, Closed-Loop Protection
Every virtual patch is replayed through the edge to PROVE it blocks the request that exploited the bug — so “protected” means verified-blocked, not just “a rule exists.” The dashboard tracks each finding through its full lifecycle: found → patched → verified → retired automatically when a re-scan confirms the underlying issue is fixed. Mean-time-to-mitigate is measured, not estimated.
Zero-Latency Edge Protection
Shield runs on Sectora's global edge network across 300+ cities. Traffic is inspected and filtered at the nearest PoP with sub-millisecond overhead. Your users never notice the protection layer — they just experience a faster, safer application.
API Schema Enforcement
Upload your OpenAPI specification and Shield validates every incoming request against it. Non-conforming requests are blocked before they reach your server. Automatically detect schema drift and undocumented shadow APIs in production traffic.
Technology Fingerprinting
Shield passively fingerprints your application's technology stack from live traffic — server software, frameworks, CMS, CDNs. Technology-specific rules activate automatically when new components are detected, ensuring coverage without manual configuration.
Shadow API Detection
Monitor production traffic to discover undocumented API endpoints, unversioned routes, and authentication bypasses. Shield builds a living API inventory from real requests, highlighting endpoints that don't appear in your OpenAPI spec.
Universal DNS Compatibility
Works with any DNS provider. Shield handles SSL certificates and traffic routing automatically. Just add a CNAME record and protection starts immediately.
