Content delivery
A global CDN reduces latency and speeds up web content.
Fastly partner
Fastly. Faster, safer websites and apps at the edge.
Fastly is an edge cloud platform and content delivery network (CDN). It serves your content from servers close to your users and protects websites and applications from cyber threats. Vectra deploys and customises it for you.
Content closer to your users. Threats kept out.
Fastly caches web pages, images and video on servers near your users around the world. That reduces latency and improves load times. It also protects websites and applications with DDoS mitigation, a web application firewall (WAF) and TLS encryption.
Developers get real-time analytics, custom logic at the network edge and an API-first design that is easy to integrate and automate.
The Fastly Next-Gen WAF is a hybrid software as a service (SaaS) solution with three main parts. Signal Sciences developed this patented approach, which lets it protect even the busiest apps and APIs without slowing them down.
-
Real-time defence
The WAF checks and filters HTTP traffic to block attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), using current rules.
-
Custom rules
You can adjust rules and build your own protections for weak points unique to you.
-
Built into the edge
It runs on Fastly’s edge cloud, so security does not slow your apps down.
-
Insight and automation
Detailed analytics show what threats you face, and the API lets you automate security tasks.
What the Fastly platform does.
Edge computing
Application logic runs close to users for real-time processing and personalised content.

Video and streaming
Smooth, buffer-free delivery for live streams and video on demand (VOD).
Programmability
Developers can run their own code at the network edge.
Real-time analytics
Immediate insight into traffic, performance and security.
Scale and reliability
