SECURITY SERVICE

## RedShield sits between your web applications and internet traffic, protecting against DDoS attacks, bots, and app-layer exploits.

Traffic passes through multiple security layers that block harmful requests while allowing legitimate requests through. The final layer applies in-flight security patches developed by RedShield to fix app-specific vulnerabilities, with no code changes needed.

Every request is secured before reaching your application - reducing risk, preserving uptime and performance, and freeing developers to focus on growth projects.
