It provides multi-layered protection against OWASP Top 10 attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, machine learning-based API discovery supporting OpenAPI, XML, and JSON schemas, bot mitigation without CAPTCHAs, client-side protection for third-party script injections and form hijacking, and link cloaking to prevent scraping.
