This is a security service designed to protect websites from a variety of online threats. It acts as a protective shield, sitting between visitors and the site's server to filter out malicious traffic before it can cause harm. It is used by website owners and administrators who need to safeguard their online assets from attacks without compromising performance for legitimate users.

• Traffic Filtering: The service analyzes all incoming requests to a website. It identifies and blocks traffic that exhibits malicious patterns, such as bots, scrapers, or requests associated with known attack vectors.
• DDoS Mitigation: It provides protection against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks by absorbing and dispersing large volumes of malicious traffic, helping to keep the website online and accessible.
• Access Control: The system can block individual IP addresses or entire geographic regions based on security rules set by the site owner, preventing unwanted access attempts.
• Security Challenge: When suspicious activity is detected from a visitor, the service can present a challenge page to verify the visitor is human, helping to stop automated attacks while allowing real users through.
• Performance Integration: By blocking bad traffic at the network edge, the service reduces the load on the origin server, which can contribute to improved performance and reliability for the actual website.
