Founded in 2014, zyProtect is a leader in applying artificial intelligence to website protection. Using AI, zyWAF learns permitted website actions and blocks suspicious actions thus securing websites from all attacks. This software-based AI responds instantly to new threats rather than requiring a waiting time for security updates to be released as with traditional hardware or signature-based web application firewalls. Being software based, zyWAF also offers significant cost savings and less burdensome deployment.
