The right tool for the right layer.
Shugoi complements a CDN and a signature WAF. Its specific role is to help your application recognise a previously seen device and automated or risky environments.
| Need | Shugoi | Typical layer |
|---|---|---|
| Limit repeated trials | Device signals + server-side rule | Account, email or cookie |
| Stop an automated browser | Built-in detection and challenge | CAPTCHA or anti-bot tool |
| Block SQLi, XSS and injection | Pair with a signature WAF | Signature WAF |
| Absorb a network DDoS | No | CDN / network protection |
| Decide in the backend | Middleware and HTTP API | Depends on the tool |
