Defen.so offers devs a security layer installable in seconds

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Defen.so is a new open-source security layer that developers can add to apps with a single npx command. It includes WAF, bot detection, DDoS protection, and security scanning for multiple languages. The project aims to make strong security practices accessible to startups and small teams.

Meridian48 take
While Defen.so simplifies security setup, its effectiveness against sophisticated threats remains unproven, and fail-open architecture could be a double-edged sword.
