Powerful Security Features Built for Scale
Comprehensive website protection that covers every attack vector — from sophisticated bots and injection attacks to brute-force floods and content scraping. All managed from a single dashboard.
Bot Protection
ScaleShield uses AI-powered behavioral analysis to distinguish real users from automated threats in real time. Browser fingerprinting, JavaScript challenges, and CAPTCHA fallback work together to form a multi-layered defense. Every request is scored based on dozens of signals before it ever reaches your origin server.
- AI behavioral analysis with per-request risk scoring
- Browser fingerprinting and JavaScript challenge verification
- CAPTCHA fallback for ambiguous traffic
- Stops scrapers, credential stuffers, inventory hoarders, and spam bots
- Transparent to legitimate users — zero friction for real visitors
Web Application Firewall
Full OWASP Top 10 coverage protects your applications from SQL injection, cross-site scripting, remote file inclusion, and more. Managed rulesets are updated continuously by our security team so you stay protected against newly discovered vulnerabilities. Create custom WAF rules and per-domain overrides when you need granular control.
- OWASP Top 10 protection out of the box
- SQLi, XSS, RFI, and command injection blocking
- Custom WAF rules with flexible match conditions
- Per-domain rule overrides for multi-site setups
- Continuously updated managed rulesets
Smart Caching
Intelligent edge caching serves static and semi-dynamic content from the closest point of presence, reducing origin load by up to 90%. Cookie-aware caching ensures logged-in users always see fresh content while anonymous visitors enjoy lightning-fast cached responses. Built-in image optimization via imgproxy shrinks images on the fly without quality loss.
- Intelligent edge caching with automatic cache key generation
- Cache bypass rules for dynamic endpoints
- Cookie-aware caching for logged-in vs. anonymous users
- Image optimization via imgproxy — WebP/AVIF on the fly
- Reduce origin server load by up to 90%
Rate Limiting
Configurable per-IP and per-path rate limits let you control exactly how much traffic any single source can send. Graduated responses start with a JavaScript challenge and escalate to a full block, minimizing false positives. Protect login pages from brute-force attacks and API endpoints from abuse without impacting normal users.
- Per-IP and per-path rate limit rules
- Configurable time windows and thresholds
- Graduated responses: challenge then block
- Brute-force login protection
- API abuse prevention with custom limits
Country & ASN Blocking
Block or challenge traffic at the network level based on country, continent, or autonomous system number (ASN). Built-in IP reputation scoring flags suspicious addresses before they even reach your WAF rules. Proxy, VPN, and Tor exit node detection adds another layer of visibility into who is really connecting.
- Block or challenge by country, continent, or ASN
- IP reputation scoring with threat intelligence feeds
- Proxy and VPN detection
- Tor exit node blocking
- Region-level granularity for compliance requirements
Real-Time Analytics
A live traffic dashboard gives you instant visibility into every request hitting your domains. Break threats down by type, country, IP, or time range to understand attack patterns. The activity log lets you drill into individual requests to see exactly what was blocked and why.
- Live traffic dashboard with per-domain metrics
- Threat breakdown by type, country, and IP
- Historical charts with customizable date ranges
- Detailed activity log with full request metadata
- Exportable reports for compliance and auditing
WordPress Hardening
Purpose-built protections for the most popular CMS on the web. ScaleShield locks down wp-login, blocks xmlrpc abuse, hardens admin paths, and prevents comment spam — all without touching a single plugin. Enable WordPress mode and your site is hardened instantly.
- wp-login brute-force protection with challenge gates
- xmlrpc.php blocking to stop amplification attacks
- Admin path hardening and access restrictions
- Comment spam prevention at the edge
Honeypot Traps
Deploy invisible honeypot paths that no legitimate user would ever visit. When a bot or scanner hits one, ScaleShield immediately bans the offending IP. It is a silent, zero-false-positive trap that catches automated scanners the moment they step out of bounds.
- Configurable honeypot URL paths
- Automatic IP ban on trigger
- Invisible to real users — only bots fall in
- Customizable ban duration and response
