Protect your applications and APIs at any scale
A unified, globally distributed security platform that stops exploits, bots, DDoS, and emerging threats before they reach your applications and APIs.
Planet-scale defense
Battle-tested against the largest attacks. Always-on mitigation autonomously blocks multiple hyper-volumetric attacks every day across our globally distributed infrastructure.
Instant hardening
Active protection by default. Deploy enterprise-grade WAF, rate limiting, mTLS, Origin Shield, and Bot Manager with a single DNS change — no agents, no appliances.
AI-native programmability
Real-time programmability for agentic AI. Give AI agents the security controls and telemetry they need — build your own workflows or start from pre-built configurations.
Stop Threats Before
They Reach Your Applications
Web Application
and API Protection
Protect web applications and APIs with WAF, Bot Manager, and DDoS Protection working as one — consistent enforcement on every request, without tool sprawl.
Bot Management
Detect, classify, and control automated traffic before it reaches your applications — block malicious bots while allowing real users and trusted bots through.
AI and API Gateway
Secure and control AI and API traffic with Azion as your gateway — enforcing authentication, rate limiting, input validation, and consistent policies across every request.
Fraud and Abuse Prevention
Stop credential stuffing, account takeover, scraping, and checkout abuse with AI-driven bot classification — blocking malicious automation while letting real users and trusted bots through.
DNS Protection
Keep domains online and trusted with authoritative Edge DNS — native DDoS protection at the DNS layer and DNSSEC that blocks spoofing, poisoning, and hijacking, with high availability built in.
Compliant with Your
Current and Future Needs
Battle-Tested by the World's Largest Banks
and E-commerce Companies
"Azion shielded us from sophisticated cyberattacks and empowered us to modernize our infrastructure, reduce costs, and deliver the best shopping experiences to millions of customers across Latin America."

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Azion Firewall protect against?
Azion Firewall combines modules that each address a specific aspect of traffic inspection and threat mitigation: Web Application Firewall protects applications against threats, including zero-day attacks; Bot Manager stops malicious bots; Network Shield enforces network-layer protections; DDoS Protection mitigates DDoS attacks; and Functions adds a programmability layer to extend the Firewall, including with AI agents.
How does Network Shield protect my applications?
Network Shield lets you configure Network Lists based on IP/CIDR, geolocation, and ASN, then apply rules based on those lists—such as blocking, allowing, or rate limiting traffic—to control who can reach your applications, and from where.
What is the difference between Firewall and Web Application Firewall?
Firewall is Azion's unified security resource for protecting workloads on its globally distributed infrastructure. It combines modules such as Web Application Firewall, Bot Manager, Network Shield, DDoS Protection, and Functions. Web Application Firewall is one of those modules, focused specifically on protecting applications and APIs against web attacks, including the OWASP Top 10 and zero-day threats.
Can I create custom security logic?
Yes. With Functions, you can run your own security code integrated directly into Azion Firewall — and call Azion AI Inference to run security agents. For simpler customizations, the Firewall Rules Engine lets you build custom rules that analyze requests based on multiple parameters and decide what to do with them — block, rate limit, or return a custom response.
How does API Gateway improve API security?
You can use Azion as the gateway for your APIs, enforcing security policies consistently across all of them from a single control plane while improving visibility across services.
How does AI threat detection and takedown work?
Azion uses AI across its security products — and, beyond that, lets you build your own AI agents. Using AI models, these agents can detect phishing, abuse, and malicious content and automate takedown, running on Azion's distributed infrastructure.
What certifications does Azion provide?
Azion is PCI DSS certified and maintains compliance attestations such as SOC 2 Type 2 / SOC 3, while also complying with data protection regulations like GDPR and LGPD. These independent audits and attestations demonstrate the operational controls that protect your applications, APIs, and data.
