Webscale has witnessed more than 100% growth in the past year, fueled in part by the unprecedented surge in ecommerce as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. With rapid growth comes increased risk of cyber-attacks, and Webscale continues to work closely with customers to strengthen their security posture, with powerful edge solutions that can be deployed alongside traditional WAFs and CDNs, and on top of any third-party commerce cloud, headless/PWA deployment or on-premise application.
