Spark Shield

Application and API protection that understands intent.

Edge protection for portals, APIs and citizen services: request inspection, bot and abuse control, rate shaping and virtual patching, tuned by the same AI that watches your estate.

Overview

Public services are attacked every second of every day, mostly by automation. Spark Shield sits in front of your applications and APIs and decides, request by request, what is a citizen, what is a partner integration and what is an attack tool wearing a browser's clothes.

Rules are explainable. When Shield blocks or challenges, the analyst sees why: the signals, the policy and the confidence. Virtual patches for newly disclosed vulnerabilities can be applied in minutes, buying the time the application team needs to fix the code properly.

Capabilities

  • Layer 7 inspection for HTTP, APIs and WebSockets
  • Bot and abuse control with behavioural scoring
  • Virtual patching for disclosed vulnerabilities
  • Rate shaping per identity, token and route
  • Schema enforcement for JSON APIs
  • Full request forensics in the audit chain
How it works

Spark Shield

01Place

Shield is deployed in-country in front of the origin, as an appliance or a container.

02Learn

A baseline of normal traffic is built per route and per client class.

03Enforce

Policies move from observe to challenge to block with one click and a reason.

04Patch

New advisories become virtual patches while the code is fixed.

Outcomes

Application and API protection that understands intent.

01

Fewer incidents

Automated abuse is stopped before it reaches the application.

02

Faster fixes

Virtual patches cover the window between disclosure and deployment.

03

Clear answers

Every block is explainable to the service owner and to the citizen who asks.
