About Security
Last updated 2024-05-10
The Security controls give you access to the different security products Fastly has to offer. If you have the appropriate access permissions, these controls appear when you go to Security in the navigation sidebar.
Before you begin
Be sure you know how to access the web interface controls before learning about each of the pages you'll encounter there.
About the Security controls
From the Security controls, you can access the:
- Overview page, which provides introductions to various security offerings that can help you protect your services and links you to more information about them. If you have a Signal Sciences account, you can log in to it directly from this page.
- TLS management menu, where you can find controls for adding HTTPS to your domains, adding additional privacy and data security to your services. You can either upload your own TLS certificates or have Fastly manage this for you.
- Edge rate limiting page, where you can implement a rate limiting policy to control the rate of requests sent to your origin servers.
- DDoS mitigation page, where you can learn more about our DDoS mitigation options. Fastly’s high-bandwidth globally distributed network was built with “always-on” DDoS mitigation designed to absorb DDoS attacks. You can also purchase a DDoS Protection and Mitigation Service that provides additional Fastly resources to assist you with mitigating the service and financial impacts of DDoS and related attacks.
- Bot management page, where you can review potential abusive bot activity on your network.
- Next-Gen WAF page, where you can log in to your Signal Sciences account if you have one or contact us for information on the Fastly Next-Gen WAF. You can use a WAF to protect your applications from malicious attacks designed to compromise web servers.
Security products note
No security product, such as a WAF or DDoS mitigation product, including those security services offered by Fastly, will detect or prevent all possible attacks or threats. As a subscriber, you should maintain appropriate security controls on all web applications and origins. The use of Fastly's security products do not relieve you of this obligation. As a subscriber, you should test and validate the effectiveness of Fastly's security services to the extent possible prior to deploying these services in production, continuously monitor their performance, and adjust these services as appropriate to address changes in your web applications, origin services, and configurations of the other aspects of your Fastly services.What's next
