Reblaze Technologies offers an all-in-one web security platform. It includes a next-gen Web Application Firewall (WAF), autoscaling Denial of Service (DoS)/Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection, advanced bot management, real-time traffic monitoring & control, full historical logs & analytics, and more.
Reblaze runs on the customer’s clouds of choice, whether the Link11 Network and Web Security solution, or any of the top-tier public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP). Reblaze protects web applications, services and microservices, and API endpoints.
Reblaze deploys as a reverse proxy, continually analyzing incoming traffic. Benign traffic is passed through to the customer's origin, while hostile traffic is blocked and denied access.
The platform's overall architecture is as follows:
Reblaze deploys and runs in the customer's choice of clouds, whether private (Link11) or public (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
All incoming traffic is routed through Reblaze and scrubbed as it passes through. Latency is negligible (generally 1.5 milliseconds or less).
Hostile traffic is blocked before it reaches the protected network. Legitimate traffic has normal access to the requested resources.
Attackers cannot reach, or even find, the targeted web platform.
Bandwidth, compute, and other resources scale automatically as needed.
Remote management ensures minimal obligations (of time or expertise) from onsite staff.
Reblaze supports various methods of authentication such as Basic, Digest, and Kerberos. (Note that NTLM cannot work with reverse proxies, and thus Reblaze does not support NTLM sites/applications.)
Reblaze is integrated with, and runs natively on, multiple cloud platforms. It leverages the advantages of each. Examples:
When Reblaze runs on Link11, customers can use Secure CDN, Link11 load balancing, Infrastructure DDoS for offloading Layer 3 protection, and more.
On GCP, Reblaze can act as the 'threat detection engine' for Cloud Armor, automating and extending its capabilities, and blocking attacks at the edges.
On Azure, Reblaze integrates with Azure Security Center to fit smoothly into existing customer workflows.
On AWS, Reblaze integrates with AWS WAF and Shield, adding granularity, control, and many other additional capabilities to AWS's native security features.
