Web & API Protection
Protect Every Endpoint, Every API, Every Request
Modern applications expose programmable attack surfaces. Every API endpoint, webhook, and microservice is a potential entry point. Quicksand was built specifically for this reality.
How It Works
Edge Enforcement
Quicksand operates at the proxy layer, inspecting traffic at L4 and L7 before it reaches your application. No SDKs to integrate, no agents to install, no code changes required. Protection is applied transparently at the network edge, covering every service behind the proxy without per-application configuration.
Protection Coverage
Quicksand detects and mitigates automated abuse, credential stuffing, injection attempts, vulnerability scanning, and API enumeration. Threats are identified through behavioral analysis and protocol-level inspection, not static signatures that attackers easily evade.
Zero-Trust at the Edge
Every request is evaluated independently. No implicit trust based on source IP, session state, or previous behavior. Client fingerprinting, geo-restrictions, and request validation enforce zero-trust principles before traffic reaches your infrastructure.
Full Visibility
Every enforcement decision is logged with full context. Audit trails capture what was blocked, why, and what evidence triggered the action. Real-time dashboards provide operational awareness, and historical data supports incident investigation and compliance reporting.
Key Outcomes
- Protection against abuse, scanning, injection, and enumeration
- Zero-trust enforcement at the edge
- Full visibility into enforcement decisions
- Stable latency under high request volumes

Scenario
A European financial services provider processes millions of API requests daily across customer-facing applications and partner integrations. Automated vulnerability scanners, credential stuffing campaigns, and API enumeration attempts are a constant presence. Quicksand inspects every request at the infrastructure edge — blocking threats before they reach application servers while maintaining stable latency for legitimate traffic.
