I’m excited to share that today Signal Sciences launched our new partnership with CenturyLink to deliver a comprehensive application security and delivery solution. As digital competition and evolving threats put increasing pressure on web applications, businesses can now deploy best-of-breed acceleration and security with a solution that combines Signal Sciences award-winning next-gen web application firewall (WAF), CenturyLink CDN Edge Compute, a powerful content delivery network (CDN), and CenturyLink DDoS mitigation.

Ensuring Fast Application Delivery and Protection

Web applications are the foundation of the modern digital user experience. Customers demand a fast response every time, everywhere. At the same time, hackers are having a field day with the poorly protected environments found in many businesses. To meet these demands, businesses must ensure fast application delivery while also ensuring protection against increasingly sophisticated threats.

The joint Signal Sciences-CenturyLink solution addresses both needs while simplifying deployment and management in any type of environment. By delivering the top-rated Signal Sciences next-gen WAF through CenturyLink CDN Edge Compute, businesses can now leverage an end-to-end solution to deliver applications with high performance, scalability and security for every customer.

A Customized CDN Edge Environment with Easily Deployed Next-Gen WAF

CenturyLink CDN Edge Compute provides developers with a flexible, open module architecture to design, configure and deploy custom web application workloads at the edge. It gives developers the flexibility to choose software that best suits their innovation needs, creating a completely customized edge environment. WAF, bot management and application performance modules run within milliseconds of the end user, removing bandwidth constraints between end and origin servers. CenturyLink CDN Edge Compute provides tools to empower innovation by allowing developers to move changes into production quickly while minimizing risk.

Fast and easy to implement, Signal Sciences next-gen WAF gives businesses instant visibility and protection for their most critical web applications in a matter of minutes. Organizations across all industries deploy Signal Sciences to protect against the full spectrum of threats, including OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities such as SQLi and XSS, API security, account takeovers, brute force attacks, malicious bots, and application abuse and misuse, among others. Additionally, businesses can choose from the most flexible menu of deployment options on any cloud or datacenter, any container, any PaaS and any IaaS, with full feature parity across deployments and a unified management system.
