Start protected by default, then extend control with Firewall
Protected from day one
DDoS Protection is built in by default, helping keep applications and APIs available without extra setup.
Start with Firewall
Use Firewall to define how traffic is inspected, controlled, and enforced across your applications and APIs.
Extend security with code
Add custom logic and integrations with Functions to automate responses and adapt protection to your environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Azion Firewall protect against?
Azion Firewall helps protect applications and APIs against common web attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, remote file inclusion, and protocol abuse. It combines managed WAF protections with custom rules and rate limiting to reduce risk before traffic reaches your infrastructure.
How does Network Shield protect my origin?
Network Shield helps keep your origin private and harder to reach directly from the public internet. You can restrict access with Signed URLs, IP allowlisting, private backbone connectivity, and origin monitoring to reduce exposure and improve resilience.
What is the difference between Firewall and Network Shield?
Firewall is Azion’s unified security resource for protecting workloads on its globally distributed infrastructure. It combines modules such as Web Application Firewall, Bot Manager, Network Shield, and Functions. Network Shield is one of those modules, focused on programmable network-layer policies to control who can access your applications, and from where.
Can I create custom security logic?
Yes. You can build custom protections with Firewall Rules Engine and Functions using request attributes such as headers, cookies, query strings, URI, IP, ASN, and geolocation. That allows you to block, rate limit, return custom responses, or execute JavaScript at the edge.
How does API Gateway improve API security?
API Gateway creates a centralized entry point for API traffic, making it easier to enforce authentication, routing, rate limiting, and request controls consistently. It helps security teams and developers apply policies in one place while improving visibility across services.
How does AI threat detection and takedown work?
Azion can use AI models to analyze digital assets, detect phishing, abuse, and malicious content, and automate classification and response workflows. This helps security teams identify threats faster and coordinate takedown actions across distributed environments.
What certifications does Azion provide?
Azion provides certifications such as SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS to support customers with security, governance, and compliance requirements. These attestations help demonstrate operational controls for protecting applications, APIs, and digital assets.
