Blackwall

• BotGuard Web Protection

  Cloud-based bot detection and mitigation for individual websites. Integrates at the web server level without DNS redirect. Behavioral analysis distinguishes legitimate crawlers from malicious bots.

• GateKeeper Reverse Proxy

  Distributed reverse proxy cluster for hosting providers. Sits in front of all hosted websites, providing transparent security without per-site configuration. Scales with hosting provider infrastructure.

• HTTP/3 QUIC Support

  GateKeeper supports HTTP/3 with QUIC protocol, providing better performance on high-latency and lossy connections. Automatic protocol negotiation for browsers that support it.

• Automatic SSL Management

  GateKeeper handles TLS 1.3 certificates automatically. SSL certificates are provisioned and renewed without manual intervention, reducing operational burden for hosting providers managing thousands of domains.

• WAF with OWASP Top 10

  Rule-based WAF protecting against SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and other OWASP Top 10 attack vectors. Rules updated by the Blackwall security team.

• Behavioral Bot Detection

  Uses behavioral analysis to classify traffic as human, good bot (search engine crawlers), or malicious bot. Goes beyond simple user-agent checking to analyze request patterns and behavior.

• Rate Limiting

  Configurable rate limiting to mitigate brute force attacks, credential stuffing, and application-level DDoS. Can be applied per IP, per endpoint, or globally.

• CDN Caching Layer

  GateKeeper includes a caching layer that absorbs traffic spikes and reduces load on origin servers. Static content is served from the proxy layer, improving response times.

• Free Monitoring Mode

  Observe bot traffic and threat patterns without blocking anything. Useful for evaluation and traffic profiling. Available for both BotGuard and GateKeeper deployments.

Traceable Application & API Security Platform

• API Discovery & Posture Management

  Automatically discover every API from live production traffic including REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, and WebSocket. Identifies shadow, zombie, and orphaned APIs with continuous risk assessment.

• Runtime WAAP Protection

  Cloud-native WAF and API protection against OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, SQL injection, XSS, and application-layer attacks with behavioral ML detection.

• API Security Testing (AST)

  Zero-config security tests generated from real and replayed traffic. Integrated with CI/CD pipelines for automated pre-production vulnerability discovery. No inactive endpoint noise.

• Bot Protection

  Advanced bot detection using behavioral analysis, volumetric detection, browser/device anomaly detection, and custom policies. Distinguishes legitimate bots from malicious automation.

• DDoS Protection

  Mitigates large-scale traffic floods and application-layer DDoS attacks with rate limiting and anomaly-based detection.

• Sensitive Data Discovery

  Automatically identify API endpoints handling sensitive data (PII, financial, regulated) without appropriate authentication or zero-trust policies.

• AI-Powered Insights

  AI chatbot for natural-language queries about APIs, threats, and exposures. AI explains detected issues, assesses severity, and recommends remediation in developer-friendly language.

• WAF Integration

  Integrates with existing WAFs (AWS WAF, Cloudflare) to add API context and advanced threat detection without replacing your current security stack.
