SHIELDING ENTERPRISE APIs AT THE FIRST HOP.
Vanguard operates deterministically inside edge pathways to intercept aggressive botnets, scrape attempts, and malicious volumetric bursts before they compromise your origin infrastructure.
Securing Mission-Critical APIs at Scale
2.4B+
API requests analyzed, verified, and routed successfully every 24 hours across our global points of presence.
0.3ms
Average overhead latency added, preventing latency degradation during multi-million node volumetric attacks.
12s
Average propagation time for network security fingerprints across all Vanguard edge nodes worldwide.
THE ZERO-TRUST DETERMINISTIC ENGINE.
Unlike legacy Web Application Firewalls that rely on slow, guess-prone artificial heuristics, Vanguard parses request parameters directly in raw system memory, evaluating client validity cryptographically.
TLS Fingerprinting
Analyze and map TLS handshake characteristics, client extensions, and cipher configurations to build an unforgeable baseline signature of safe callers.
- JA3/JA4 Edge Classification
- Cipher Suite Verification
Rate-Shape Dampening
Smooth out volumetric anomalies and micro-bursting patterns dynamically without severing connections for valid client architectures.
- Micro-burst Token Reservoirs
- Dynamic Client Window Shifting
Cryptographic Isolation
Isolate untrusted requests into sandboxed loops immediately, prompting browsers or endpoints to deliver light cryptographic proofs without CAPTCHA friction.
- Zero-friction Browser Proofs
- Custom SDK Verifications
Incoming API Target Call
HTTP request with custom client payloads arrives at nearest CDN edge node.
Deterministic Inspection
TLS signatures, rate models, and behavioral profiles parsed in 0.2ms.
Origin Handover / Drop
Clean payload passed safely to origin cluster; malicious callers rejected with 403.
SHIELD YOUR ENDPOINTS WITHOUT INTRODUCING BULK.
Legacy API gateways add significant network hops and payload unpacking, bloating round-trip latency. Vanguard runs seamlessly in-line at the edge socket level. No agents, no heavy sidecars, no latency penalties.
DEVELOPER FIRST INSTRUMENTATION.
Access clean, declarative YAML configurations, unified API control endpoints, and deep metrics streams that integrate natively with Prometheus, Datadog, or security information systems.
Global PoPs Edge Clusters
Distributed globally across 14 sovereign cloud facilities
“Vanguard saved our token emission endpoints from a coordinated bot attack that was costing us $40k a day in fraud. We turned it on and the attack dropped to absolute zero.”
