As alternatives, Signal Sciences Cloud WAF or Signal Sciences Next-Gen WAF both offer proactive monitoring of and protection against suspicious and anomalous web traffic directed at your applications and origin servers. Each can be controlled via the web interface dashboard or application programming interface (API). Contact sales@fastly.com or your Fastly account team to evaluate or move to the Signal Sciences WAF options.
