The Cequence Platform
Advanced Application and Data Protection
Cequence’s platform gives organizations the security, governance, and control they need to protect their applications and data against attacks, business logic abuse, and fraud. A deep understanding of user, entity, and agent behavior makes Cequence uniquely qualified to accurately detect and respond to external attacks and govern internal agent behavior.
From the beginning, Cequence has focused on protecting applications and data. Starting with the industry’s first network-based bot management solution, we expanded into API security and governance and then added WAAP to defend against DDoS and OWASP Web Top 10 threats. Every capability builds on the same foundation: behavioral intelligence that protects applications and data. Now that core technology extends to securing the AI agents and workflows modern enterprises depend on.

Cequence Platform Features
Behavioral Intelligence, Precise Identity
Cequence profiles user and entity behavior to establish rich digital identities, so organizations can enable productive agents without opening the door to malicious bots. It accurately distinguishes humans and bots, and between legitimate automation and threats — without ever interrupting users with a CAPTCHA.
Runtime Protection, Real-Time Response
Cequence operates at runtime, detecting attacks the moment they emerge and responding dynamically before damage is done. Rather than relying on static rules or after-the-fact analysis, the platform continuously evaluates live traffic to identify threats in real time and trigger immediate, precise countermeasures – keeping applications and APIs protected without interrupting legitimate users.
Modular Architecture, Flexible Deployment
Cequence analyzes and protects more than 10 billion application interactions daily across some of the world’s largest financial services, retail, and telecom organizations. Start with the Cequence products you need today and expand as your requirements grow. Fast, flexible deployment across SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid environments means the platform adapts to your infrastructure, not the other way around.
Unified Platform, Integrated Protection
The Cequence platform is built for integration from the ground up. Our native integration eliminates the blind spots and operational overhead of stitching together point solutions, and gives organizations a single, coherent defense across bot, API, and AI use cases.
World-Class Research, Real-World Results
When security teams are stretched thin or buried in daily operations, Cequence Managed Services steps in. Powered by the CQ Prime threat research team and the industry’s largest repository of malicious behaviors, known bad infrastructure, and attack toolkits, Cequence Managed Services delivers the same application and data protection that the world’s most demanding organizations rely on.
“I don’t want to have any interactions with threat actors on my edge — I want to push that perimeter out as far as I can. Cequence is able to intercept bad traffic from threat actors outside of our perimeter. With this capability, our threat posture has been significantly improved.”
