Bunny Shield

Product Introduction

1. Bunny Shield is a comprehensive security solution designed to protect websites and APIs through integrated web application firewall (WAF), DDoS mitigation, rate limiting, bot detection, and upload scanning capabilities. It operates via a globally distributed network of 119 scrubbing centers and offers real-time threat analysis with AI-driven recommendations. The product emphasizes ease of configuration through an intuitive dashboard and transparent pricing starting with a free tier.
2. The core value of Bunny Shield lies in unifying multiple security layers into a single platform to reduce complexity while maintaining enterprise-grade protection. It prioritizes seamless integration with existing infrastructure, zero performance impact during attacks, and scalability from small projects to large enterprises. The service guarantees 24/7/365 expert support and mitigates attacks exceeding 700 Gbps through its 250 Tbps+ network capacity.

Main Features

1. Bunny Shield employs a next-gen AI-powered WAF that automatically blocks zero-day exploits, OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, and emerging threats while providing real-time attack logs and adaptive rule suggestions. The system analyzes request patterns, headers, and payloads to detect SQL injections, XSS attacks, and API abuse without manual configuration.
2. The solution mitigates volumetric DDoS attacks at the network edge using behavioral fingerprinting and traffic scoring across 200+ global PoPs, ensuring uninterrupted service during multi-vector assaults. Layer 3/4 attacks are filtered through automated SYN flood protection and IP reputation databases, while Layer 7 threats are neutralized via HTTP request analysis and challenge-free mitigation.
3. Global rate limiting enforces granular traffic controls per IP, user session, or API endpoint, preventing credential stuffing, inventory scraping, and resource exhaustion. Rules can be applied across entire applications or specific paths like login pages, with thresholds adjustable based on time windows (e.g., 100 requests/minute per IP).
4. Advanced bot mitigation combines CAPTCHA-free JavaScript challenges, TLS fingerprinting, and headless browser detection to block malicious crawlers, credential-stuffing bots, and scalper scripts. The system maintains allowlists for search engines and analytics tools while blocking Tor nodes, VPNs, and proxies through curated threat intelligence feeds.

Problems Solved

1. Bunny Shield addresses the growing risk of sophisticated cyberattacks that bypass traditional security tools, particularly for businesses lacking dedicated security teams. It eliminates false positives through machine learning models trained on traffic patterns from 1.5 million protected properties.
2. The product primarily serves mid-market SaaS platforms, e-commerce sites, and media streaming services requiring compliance with PCI DSS, GDPR, and other regulatory frameworks. Developers managing APIs with sensitive data endpoints and WordPress administrators seeking CDN-integrated security are key user groups.
3. Typical use cases include blocking credential-stuffing attacks on user login pages, preventing inventory hoarding by scalper bots during product launches, and stopping ransomware distribution through malicious file uploads. Media companies leverage it to mitigate video stream piracy attempts, while enterprises use it to enforce geo-specific access policies.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike competitors requiring separate solutions for WAF, DDoS, and bot management, Bunny Shield consolidates all security layers with unified logging and a single pricing model. The platform processes over 25 million monthly requests in its free tier, offering CSAM scanning and basic bot protection at no cost.
2. The AI WAF uniquely auto-generates rules based on traffic behavior analysis and provides actionable remediation steps through its dashboard. Upload scanning combines virus detection (ClamAV) and CSAM hash matching without third-party integrations, processing up to 2.5 million files monthly in enterprise tiers.
3. Competitive differentiators include sub-7ms latency penalty during active mitigation, 24/7 access to DDoS response experts, and per-request billing transparency. The network’s Anycast routing and permanent caching capabilities reduce origin server load by 80% compared to traditional cloud WAFs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does the 14-day free trial work? The trial provides full access to Advanced-tier features including 50 million monthly requests, non-branded block pages, and complex bot mitigation without requiring credit card details. Protection remains active throughout the trial period, with automatic downgrade to the free Basic tier unless upgraded.
2. Can Bunny Shield protect APIs and mobile app backends? Yes, the service supports REST API endpoints and GraphQL with specialized rules for JSON/XML payload inspection. Mobile apps can integrate via HTTP headers or client IP whitelisting, while rate limits apply to both authenticated and anonymous API calls.
3. What happens during a DDoS attack? Traffic is rerouted through the nearest scrubbing center within 10 seconds, where malicious packets are dropped before reaching your origin. Real-time attack metrics appear in the dashboard, and enterprise customers receive forensic reports detailing attack vectors and mitigated traffic volumes.
