Haltdos vs Prophaze API Security

Haltdos provides security and delivery solutions for web applications and APIs across on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments. Its Enterprise WAF protects websites and APIs against OWASP Top 10 attacks, known vulnerabilities, and zero-day vulnerabilities. It includes more than 4,000 signatures, machine-learning-based zero-day protection, file-upload antivirus scanning and sandboxing, and DDoS protection from Layer 3 to Layer 7. An API gateway provides authentication, rate limiting, transformation, and observability. Bot controls include detection and mitigation, device fingerprinting, mobile SDK protection, JavaScript and CAPTCHA challenges, and deception technology. Enterprise WAF also lists incident logging, analytics and dashboards, SIEM integration, and PCI compliance reporting. Deployment options include SaaS, virtual, hardware, and MSSP, with on-premise and public- or private-cloud deployment. Community WAF runs on a VM, Docker, or hardware and requires at least 2 GB RAM, 60 GB disk space, and 2 vCPU cores. Community WAF is free for one website and one security profile. Professional WAF costs $30 a month, billed at the end of each monthly billing period based on requests processed; the first 100K requests are free.

Prophaze API Security discovers APIs, protects them during operation, and applies policies across enterprise and cloud-native deployments. Its mapping spans internal, external, partner, cloud, Kubernetes, container, and legacy environments, including shadow and undocumented APIs. Coverage includes REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and AI/LLM APIs. Runtime analysis uses behavioral analytics, payload inspection, and AI-driven anomaly detection. Controls include schema validation, role-based access control, traffic quotas, rate limits, authentication and authorization protections, and granular enforcement. API risk is continuously scored against the OWASP API Top 10 as APIs change. Deployment options include Kubernetes-native protection, a cloud gateway or edge proxy, an inline proxy, or an existing CDN or reverse proxy. Prophaze says CI/CD integration requires no SDKs or code changes. Its page describes policies aligned with PCI DSS and DPDP and states ISO 27001:2022 certification. A 15-day full trial requires no card. Pricing is on request and varies by traffic, applications, deployment, security requirements, and capabilities.
