Comprehensive Application Protection

FortiAppSec Cloud consolidates web application and API security, advanced bot protection, threat analytics, and DDoS mitigation into a single, unified management interface. Using real-time threat detection covering the OWASP Top 10, it protects web applications and APIs from known attacks and AI-generated zero-days. Machine learning is also used to analyze and prioritize threats and to monitor sophisticated, human-like, bot behaviors. This is complemented by network and application layer DDoS protection and threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs.
