## Overview

The Fastly Next‑Gen WAF is a modern web application and API firewall built on the edge-cloud platform of Fastly, Inc. to provide unified protection across web apps, APIs, and microservices, no matter where they’re hosted. It monitors traffic in real-time, uses behavioral and contextual analysis (rather than just regex rules) to detect threats, and offers customizable responses (e.g., block, rate-limit, tag, or deceive).

- Deployable at the edge, on-premises, or as a fully hosted cloud WAF, giving flexibility to fit almost any infrastructure.
- Protection covers OWASP Top 10, API abuse, credential stuffing, malicious bots, and more advanced threats under one solution.
- Integrates with Fastly’s global CDN edge network, enabling security enforcement closer to users and reducing origin exposure.
- Offers shared threat intelligence via a Network Learning Exchange, where data from multiple customers helps identify bad actors faster.

It’s a high-performance, deployment-agnostic WAF designed for modern web and API environments with minimal rule-tuning and maximum scalability.
