See where your public-facing apps and APIs are exposed and what it takes to close the gaps. Book a security assessment with a Concourse engineer, review the findings, and get a managed protection plan sized to your environment. There is no obligation to continue.
CLOUDFLARE x CONCOURSE
Managed Application Security
Managed WAF, DDoS, bot, and API protection for the websites and apps your business runs on.
Securing Where Attackers Get In
Your public-facing apps and APIs are the front door attackers test first, and automated tools now probe them at machine speed. Concourse runs Cloudflare's application security platform for you, tuning the defenses that sit between the open internet and your origin so threats are filtered at the edge.
The goal is simple. Keep your sites and APIs available, fast, and protected, without adding another console for your team to watch or another specialist to hire.
Protection that runs at the edge, managed end to end
Cloudflare's network inspects every request before it reaches your origin. Concourse configures, tunes, and monitors that protection so the right traffic gets through and the rest does not.
Stopped Before it Reaches You
Malicious requests are filtered at Cloudflare's edge, so attacks are absorbed on the network instead of hitting your servers.
Tuned to Your Apps
Rules, rate limits, and bot policies are set for how your sites and APIs actually behave, then adjusted as traffic patterns change.
One Team Accountable
A named Technical Account Manager owns your configuration. You reach a person right away, not a chatbot.
Built for the systems your organization exposes to the internet
Any organization that runs login portals, customer apps, or public APIs has an external attack surface. These are some of the most vulnerable industries.
Healthcare
Patient portals, scheduling, and billing apps that must stay available and meet HIPAA requirements.
SaaS and Technology
Customer-facing applications and the public APIs they depend on, protected without slowing releases.
Manufacturing
Public-facing systems and infrastructure that need protection alongside strict regulatory controls.
Higher Education
Admissions, advancement, and student portals that face heavy automated and scraping traffic.
Financial services
Online banking, payment, and customer portals where fraud, bots, and downtime carry direct cost.
Government
Citizen services and public sites that are frequent targets for DDoS and defacement.
Wherever your apps run, on Big Cloud, on-prem, or in a private cloud, the protection sits in front of them.
What Concourse manages for your public-facing systems
Application security spans web apps, the APIs behind them, the scripts running in the browser, and the network they all run on. Concourse manages each layer as one service.
Web Application Firewall and DDoS
The WAF blocks zero-day exploits, injection, and credential stuffing, while layer 3 and layer 7 DDoS mitigation absorbs volumetric attacks before they reach your origin.
API and Bot Defense
API Shield discovers shadow APIs and blocks business-logic abuse. Bot management scores automated traffic and stops scraping, fraud, and account-takeover attempts.
Client-side and Edge Controls
Page Shield watches the scripts and connections running in your visitors' browsers. A global CDN, smart routing, and managed certificates keep delivery fast and encrypted.
Why Concourse?
Most application security tools are sold as software you still configure, monitor, and keep current yourself. Concourse delivers the Cloudflare platform as a fully managed service, with configuration, tuning, and incident response handled by a named Washington state based team that serves organizations across regions. Application security is one part of Concourse's broader security-first approach.

Application Security FAQs
What is managed application security?
Managed application security is protection for your public-facing websites, web apps, and APIs that someone else configures and runs for you. Concourse manages Cloudflare's web application firewall, DDoS mitigation, bot management, and API defenses at the network edge, so malicious traffic is filtered before it reaches your servers and your team does not have to operate the platform.
How is this different from Concourse Managed Zero Trust?
They protect opposite directions of traffic. Managed application security works outside-in, shielding the websites, apps, and APIs you publish to the internet from external attacks. Concourse Managed Zero Trust works inside-out, controlling how your employees and contractors reach internal systems and replacing legacy VPNs. Many organizations run both.
Will adding this protection slow my website down?
No. Cloudflare's content delivery network and smart routing usually make sites faster, because static content is cached close to your visitors and traffic takes the most efficient path. Security inspection happens at the edge in the same pass, so requests are filtered without a separate detour. Concourse tunes caching and rules so legitimate users see no friction.
How does Concourse protect APIs?
Concourse manages API Shield, which discovers the public and shadow APIs running in your environment and applies a positive security model that allows only expected requests. It blocks business-logic abuse, credential stuffing, and automated attacks. Advanced rate limiting caps traffic based on any request characteristic rather than IP address alone, which protects the APIs that mobile apps and integrations depend on.
Can you protect apps hosted on Big Cloud or on-prem?
Yes. The protection sits in front of your applications regardless of where they run, whether that is a hyperscale public cloud, your own data center, or a Concourse private cloud. Cloudflare's edge becomes the entry point for inbound traffic, so the same WAF, DDoS, and bot policies apply consistently across a hybrid or multi-cloud setup.
What if we are under attack right now?
Concourse can put managed mitigation in front of your apps quickly and respond as an attack unfolds. The WAF and DDoS protection absorb malicious traffic at the edge, and your named Technical Account Manager works the incident directly. If you are dealing with an active attack or a newly disclosed vulnerability, contact Concourse to get protection in place.
Does this support our compliance requirements?
Yes. Concourse configures and documents application security controls to support frameworks including HIPAA/HITECH, PCI DSS 4.0, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR. A managed web application firewall (WAF), for example, helps meet PCI DSS requirements for protecting cardholder data. Concourse handles the configuration and keeps records that support your audits.
