The uniquely user-friendly interface allows for simplification of complex data, giving clear insight into the risks that our customers’ web applications and APIs would otherwise carry. Thank you to CyberSecurity Breakthrough for this validation of what we have built,” said Ajay Kapur, CTO and GM of Applications for Edgio.

While the solution is designed for self-service, managed security services are available for day-to-day operations, and Edgio’s 24×7 SOC provides support before, during, and after an attack.
