Blackwall builds GateKeeper, a web-traffic filtering and security platform that hosting and service providers use to block bots, DDoS attacks and other threats for websites and applications.
Blackwall addresses a large security and cost problem: the company says around half of global web traffic comes from bots, 66% of those bots are malicious, and traditional solutions priced for enterprises leave SMBs vulnerable; GateKeeper can reduce provider operating costs by up to 25%. Its platform is reported as deployed across more than 2.3 million websites and applications and trusted by more than 100 service and hosting partners, while the current site announces a $100M raise at a $2.2B valuation to scale the hosting-market platform.
