Why Should Developers Use RedShield?

Ship secure software, faster.

The pressure on developers to deliver software with speed and security is unrelenting.

With RedShield’s web application and API security solution, there’s nothing to hold you back. We integrate with your release cycle to achieve speed-to-market without compromising on cybersecurity. And if a vulnerability is exposed, relax. We have it covered – without touching your code or changing how your software functions - until you have time to focus on fixing it.

Focus on releasing code to production, not urgent security issues.

Reacting to cyberthreats and ongoing security issues is a distraction which impacts your ability to deliver new code – yet it’s essential.

Shields are nano blocks of code designed to fix an otherwise exploitable vulnerability in an application. When a vulnerability is identified, our engineers determine the triggering event in the application traffic flow and craft a shield that triggers on the event. The shields transform requests and responses in the traffic flow, making the vulnerability undiscoverable or nullifying the associated exploit, while you get on with meeting release deadlines.

Accelerate your CI/CD pipeline, securely.

When you’re working in a CI/CD pipeline, speed and cadence is everything.

While it’s DevSecOps best practice to take a secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) approach, we know it’s not always possible. But with RedShield working silently in the background and shielding vulnerabilities as they are discovered, you can focus on releasing code to production in a timely manner and remediate later.

Coverage and visibility of all threats, with a 24/7 team at your service.

Mitigate the impact of cyber-attacks focusing on OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, account takeovers, bad bots, denial of service, and advanced application-specific attacks targeting your vulnerabilities.

RedShield’s real-time reporting tracks all attack traffic and mitigations, and a 24/7 expert defense team protects your applications and APIs from attacks. We’ve got your back.

Shield your application vulnerabilities and pen test findings, for as long as you need.

Just point us at the vulnerabilities identified through web application penetration test findings or a vulnerability scanner. Our shields apply fixes specific to your applications and modify application behavior. Shields can be up within hours, and we’ll leave them in place for as long as you need.

The RedShield library has over 14,000 shields to address thousands of common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs). New shields are constantly added to our library and deployed to our customers - so everyone is better protected.

Zero code touch.

We know that some things are just hands-off. That’s why we use shields to secure and remediate application and API vulnerabilities.

Shields are code designed to fix an otherwise exploitable vulnerability in an application. We can get shields up and running in hours, with no integration required, no impact on legitimate application functionality, and without touching your code. In fact, access to the code isn't even required, so shields can work for applications written by a third-party, frameworks, and hosting platforms.
