Next-gen security for web app and API protection

Fend off today's and tomorrow's biggest cybersecurity threats with HAProxy One — the world's fastest application delivery and security platform. Implement web app and API protection (WAAP) in any environment, or delivered as-a-service to multiple teams.

The Problem

Cybersecurity threats are complex to manage at scale

From the OWASP Top 10 to zero-day threats, attacks can bring down your services — and put your data, revenue, and reputation at risk. You need to secure every connection, every request, and every app.

But with millions or even billions of requests, strict security checks can severely impact performance. And with global distribution, multi-cloud deployments, and vendor fragmentation, it can be impossible to maintain consistency and observability.

Fixes take time

The average breach lasts 292 days from detection to resolution.

Security is taxing

Roughly 42% of companies experience fatigue or apathy while addressing cybersecurity threats.

Threats are multiplying

Attacks against cloud environments grew by 75% from 2023 to 2024.
