API Shield & Endpoint Policy Control

The API Shield provides granular security controls for WordPress REST APIs and sensitive application endpoints — one of the most frequently exploited attack surfaces in modern WordPress deployments. AegisWAF classifies endpoints by function, method, and risk profile, enforcing rate limits, behavioral policies, and access controls accordingly. This ensures APIs remain functional for legitimate use while preventing enumeration, abuse, and unauthorized access. For application security, this capability is essential to protecting headless WordPress sites, integrations, and custom plugin APIs.

API Shield & Endpoint Protection

Applies endpoint-aware security controls to WordPress REST APIs and sensitive routes to help reduce abuse and excessive request activity.

Endpoint-Aware Protection

Applies security controls based on the targeted REST API or route rather than treating all requests the same.

Reduced API Abuse

Helps limit excessive or suspicious API requests that commonly target WordPress REST endpoints.

Controlled API Access

Supports safer operation of WordPress APIs by applying policies that balance legitimate usage with abuse prevention.
