Support for modern stacks is where Wallarm has always stood out from its competitors. For a long time it was the only product that provided full comprehensive protection for WebSockets-based web applications, and now we are the first to add support for the gRPC protocol.

Many customers, especially among large tech companies, are adopting gRPC as a fundamental piece of tech while architecturing their new APIs and microservices. Developed by Google, gRPC is a popular framework for remote procedure which serializes data using Protobuf and relies on HTTP/2 for transport.

New improvement is a part of Intelligent Parsing technology. Every Wallarm Node runs deep request inspection, parses Protobuf messages and detects malicious payloads even if they are nested inside complex data structures. This allows you to protect your web assets against the modern-days challenges, ranging from OWASP Top10 threats to Account Takeover.

Node: you don’t need to run any additional configuration or upload any API schema or protobuf structures to protect your assets. Wallarm will automatically figure everything out based on the traffic.

This way, you can protect those APIs that use gRPC and are frequently updated as a part of CI/CD process. With no extra configuration.
