• Integrates security and WAF natively into the CI/CD pipeline
• Deploys as a lightweight software package that is agnostic of underlying infrastructure
• Facilitates declarative policies for “security as code” and integration with DevOps tools
• Decreases developer burden and provides feedback loop for quick security remediation
• Accelerates time to market and reduces costs with DevSecOps‑automated security
