About

ForceNock developed a fully autonomous web application security solution that replaces existing WAF, API, and bot mitigation solutions. The system frees security teams from managing endless configurations and rules while maintaining a high level of security. In addition to the fully autonomous negative security, fully automated or semi-automated positive security is provided in tandem with OWASP top 10, API logic abuse, layer 7 DoS, and protection from a variety of other attacks. The ForceNock solution is currently offered as a virtual appliance, AMI, or Docker for private cloud deployment as a reverse proxy or plugin for Nginx/Apache.
