We generally look for products that take little of our SoC's precious time (management, false positives) and Fastly WAF has accomplished that objective” – CyberSecurity Operations Officer, finance (non-banking) industry

• “Fastly's NGWAF provided the functionality for us to mature our WAF approach from strictly IP to signals (policy) that was more flexible and adaptable to the ever-changing threat landscape. The UI provides a nice at-a-glance dashboard [with] a number of tiles that show relevant data that is actionable if something is identified as a threat.” – Senior Director - Enterprise Architect, travel and hospitality industry 

• “Effective and light-weight WAF that's a pleasure to manage. The flexible deployment options make it suitable for both on-prem and cloud-hosted applications. Great support from Fastly to tackle any issues faced.” – Head of Technology, software industry
