With the launch of UltraEdge, Vercara is meeting customer demand for fast and secure web experiences that improve business results. UltraEdge makes it easy to quickly create and deploy websites that stand out in today’s crowded digital landscape. It accelerates every interaction while supporting composable site hosting and development tools. It also ensures websites and apps are always accessible and secure with essential security applications layered to protect against a wide range of threats including DDoS attacks, OWASP top 10 and vulnerability-based threats to applications and APIs, and fraudulent activities from malicious bots. SOC security experts are available 24/7/365 to assist with on-boarding questions, escalations, and configuration assistance.
“In the extremely competitive web application landscape, it’s critical for businesses to keep application environments available, performant, and secure to mitigate any impact to their reputations and revenues,” said Carlos Morales, SVP of Solutions at Vercara. “With UltraEdge, we’re thrilled to be able to offer easy-to-use workflows and developer tools to empower companies of all sizes to deliver an unmatched combination of web performance and security for all digital assets.”
