Web Application & API Protection
WAAP Protection
Peakhour evaluates malicious traffic before it reaches origin, using WAF rules, API policy, bot signals, rate limits, and DDoS controls across Peakhour Edge or the edge you already run. Clean application traffic keeps moving, and decision logs stay available for review.
Peakhour applies WAF, API, bot, rate limit, and DDoS decisions at the edge before clean app and API delivery.

Threat Traffic Rarely Arrives as a Single Pattern
Credential abuse, API probing, malicious automation, and Layer 7 flood traffic often overlap in the same traffic window. WAAP keeps these signals in one decision path so policy can adapt per request instead of relying on a single static rule.
Attack Mix Shifts Fast
Abusive traffic rotates payload shape, endpoint focus, and request cadence to bypass single-control defenses.
Policies Need Context
The right action depends on route sensitivity, user state, request intent, and real-time attack pressure.
Operations Need Confidence
Security teams need to verify that mitigations are working without manually reconstructing why a decision was made.
API Policy and WAF Rules Work as One Control Surface
Layered Mitigation Protects Origin Without Breaking Delivery
Controls Feed Decision Logs by Default
Every policy branch writes a structured event record so responders can correlate route, signal, selected control, and delivery outcome in one place.
-
Bot and Abuse Mitigation
Automation signals and behavior profiles feed direct allow, challenge, and block outcomes tied to route-level policy.
-
Rate and IP Intelligence
Rate controls and IP context suppress flood behavior, hostile origins, and proxy-heavy abuse without overblocking trusted customer traffic.
Dashboard Evidence Confirms Policy Behavior in Production
The visual roadmap explains how controls layer together. Dashboard telemetry then proves those controls are acting as intended under live load, with events that security and platform teams can review quickly.
Operational proof remains connected to layered controls, so screenshot evidence supports decision quality instead of replacing the page narrative.
