Zen by Aikido is an embedded Web Application Firewall (WAF) that autonomously protects Node.js, .NET, and Java applications at runtime with a single line of code.

Zen by Aikido delivers critical in-app runtime defense, functioning as an embedded Web Application Firewall (WAF) that operates directly within your application's server. This architecture allows Zen to leverage full application context, dramatically reducing false positives compared to traditional WAFs. Deployment is fast: a single line of code integrates the protection for Node.js, .NET, and Java apps. It autonomously blocks common attacks (SQL injection, path traversal, shell injection) and even stops zero-day vulnerabilities in real-time before they reach your database. Zen ensures always-on protection, letting development teams focus on building features, not endless patching.
