Frequently asked questions
What does Fastly's security solutions help businesses do?
AI is redefining the digital world in real time, but most security solutions weren't built to keep up. Fastly secures applications, APIs, and workloads at every layer, turning security from the "department of no" into an engine for growth. It helps teams stay ahead of evolving threats and bots with advanced detection, purpose-built capabilities, and a resilient global network.
How does Fastly protect against both client-side and server-side threats to apps and APIs?
Fastly's Layer 7 web app and API protection (WAAP) stops client-side and server-side threats with one of the industry's lowest false positive rates. It's one of three layers of Fastly's security model, working alongside Compute and client-side protection to secure applications and APIs end to end. That combination is designed to protect your digital experiences without slowing teams down.
What is Fastly's secure-by-design compute environment?
Fastly's Compute layer is a secure-by-design environment built to run application logic safely. It uses a WASM environment that isolates code with granular insights, minimizing the blast radius from zero-day vulnerabilities. That isolation is also core to how Fastly keeps productivity high while adopting agentic AI with confidence.
Does Fastly give me control over third-party scripts running on my site?
Yes. At the client-side layer, Fastly gives you control over third-party scripts. This is the third layer of Fastly's protection model, alongside Layer 7 WAAP and secure-by-design Compute, so client-side risk is covered along with your apps and APIs.
How much can Fastly reduce security incidents and false positives?
Fastly ensures uptime, availability, and protection automatically, cutting security incidents up to 30% and false positives 25% with no constant tuning required. The goal is to keep your biggest moments safe from the cyber attacks that are unavoidable, without their costs being unavoidable too. That protection is delivered without adding manual tuning overhead for your team.
Turn security into a growth accelerator
Whether you're stopping advanced threats, shipping faster, or taking control of bots, Fastly security helps your team move quicker, confidently.
