MaxiSafe Getting Started

How it works

Conversant MaxiSafe enhances and protects web applications and APIs from emerging attack vectors by combining high-performance CDN with advanced security features. Requests are routed via the Global Traffic Manager (GTM) to the nearest CDN node, where contents are cached for faster delivery and directed to the WAAP edge for comprehensive protection.

At the WAAP Protection Edge, multi-layered defences-DDoS Mitigation, API Protection, Bot Management, AI-WAF, programmable mitigation and emergency mitigation-analyse and block malicious traffic, such as bot attacks and zero-day exploits, while allowing legitimate requests to reach the origin server. Conversant MaxiSafe ensures data security, compliance, and a zero-customer disruption experience.
