- Cybersecurity
Link11 protects websites, web applications and APIs through its Reblaze platform, combining a WAF, DDoS defense and bot management. The platform guards the front door of an application: a web application firewall stops code and injection attacks, autoscaling DDoS protection absorbs traffic floods, and bot management blocks scraping and automated abuse, with a content delivery network and load balancing built in. What sets its design apart is where it runs. Reblaze deploys inside the customer's own cloud account on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, in a dedicated virtual private cloud, so traffic is processed in the customer's environment rather than decrypted on the vendor's servers. It uses machine learning to adapt its detection. For a buyer, Link11 is managed protection for internet-facing applications that keeps the data in the buyer's own cloud.
Best for
- Companies running websites, web applications or APIs that need protection against attacks, bots and denial-of-service floods.
- Organizations with strict privacy or data-residency needs that want security traffic processed inside their own cloud, not on a vendor's servers.
- Teams already on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud that want a security layer that deploys into the account they already run.
- Businesses that want a fully managed web security service rather than a firewall appliance they configure and maintain.
A company with no public-facing web applications or APIs to protect does not need what Link11 does, which is application-layer defense.
What they offer
Managed Security. The Reblaze platform is a cloud-native web application and API protection service that bundles a next-generation web application firewall, full-scope DDoS protection, bot and scraping management, API security, a content delivery network and load balancing, managed as one service. Each customer gets a dedicated virtual private cloud rather than shared tenancy, and traffic data is processed inside the customer's own cloud. Fine-grained access controls and a real-time console give precise control over what traffic is allowed. Link11 also backs an open-source web application firewall engine called Curiefense.

Proof
Customer stories published for the Reblaze platform, told here without the customer's name.
A global payments platform operating across 200 countries and 150 currencies. Attacked on an hourly basis, it adopted the Reblaze cloud web security service for its web application firewall, DDoS defense and bot management, scrubbing high traffic volumes without adding noticeable latency for users worldwide.
A large luxury-fashion online retailer in Asia Pacific running more than 40 websites. A magnet for DDoS floods and breach attempts, especially during its frequent flash-sale events, it switched to Reblaze to absorb the traffic spikes and block attacks without slowing shoppers.
An online grocery-price-comparison megastore with millions of registered users. Facing 10 to 30 hacking and scraping attempts a day, including scraper bots from competitors that conventional tools missed, it deployed Reblaze to identify and block the scrapers on top of its existing defenses.
Good to know
- Reblaze is the product; it is now part of Link11, a European cybersecurity company, so a buyer may find it under either name.
- The single-tenant, in-your-cloud model is the main differentiator. Confirm which of your cloud accounts and applications it would deploy into and who manages it day to day.
- Product names here are the company's own material.
