Fastly lists its next-generation web application firewall (WAF) on the AWS Marketplace

Fastly has incorporated its next-generation web application firewall (WAF) as a private and public offering in the Marketplace of Amazon Web Services (AWS) which will allow companies to quickly and efficiently access their WAF, through a unified billing and purchasing process.

In addition, it will allow them to provide superior and complete protection to technological stacks, whose evolution is increasingly rapid.

Emily Friedberg, group vice president of global channels and partnerships at Fastly, states that “as the critical role of web applications and APIs increases in the global business environment and in an online world, companies are facing an entirely new class of security threats.”

"The inclusion of Fastly in the AWS Marketplace provides rapid deployment, visibility and protection so reliable that more than 90% of customers run our WAF in full blocking mode, greatly reducing endless rule tuning and false positives that get in the way of legitimate traffic. We are excited to work with more AWS customers and that they can take advantage of Fastly's next-generation WAF, recognized as a Gartner Peer Insights Customer Choice for three years in a row," he added.

As the Internet has become a global economic and social hub, instant, always-on experiences with built-in security and privacy are critical to competing in today's business world. Malicious attacks continue to evolve, from account takeover to API abuse, to attacks on the business logic of web applications, among others. Fastly's next-generation WAF can provide organizations with security they can actually use, keeping websites secure and helping to detect threats before they impact business or business outcomes.

Agreement with Presidio

As part of this addition to the Marketplace, Fastly has reached an agreement with Presidio, a member of the AWS Marketplace Consulting Partner Private Offers (CPPO) program, to resell Fastly's next-generation WAF. With this addition to the CPPO program, Presidio customers will enjoy powerful and easy-to-use solutions.

“Securing critical digital assets is absolutely essential,” says Chris Cagnazzi, Senior Vice President of the Presidio. “Offering Fastly’s next-generation WAF to our customers through AWS Marketplace helps us continue to enable our customers to build resiliency and visibility into their sites and web applications, and deliver highly effective protection.”

Mona Chadha, Director of AWS Marketplace Category Management for AWS Marketplace, highlights that "the inclusion of Fastly allows customers to have more flexibility in their high-performance and security technology options within AWS Marketplace. Presidio, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner and early adopter of AWS Marketplace, is using the Consulting Partner Private Offers program to expand easy access of Fastly's next-generation WAF to our customers around the world as they invest in resilient, secure and fast digital experiences."

Finally, note that in addition to the next-generation WAF, customers will soon be able to access Fastly's modern content distribution services through AWS Marketplace.
