Parrera

Know when an attack actually got through.

Application delivery & security

Parrera is an application delivery and security platform from Teleformation. It balances and protects your web traffic like an enterprise ADC — then goes one step further: it checks whether requests it allowed through went on to cause harm.

Designed and developed by Teleformation in the UK

The problem · Permitted & forgotten

Your firewall decides.
Then it stops looking.

The dominant WAF and ADC architecture works at the front door. A request is checked against rules and, if nothing matches, it’s passed to your application and forgotten.

That works for attacks you already know about. But what about the requests that slip through? Standard controls don’t necessarily go back to check whether a permitted request exploited something — a question often answered much later during an incident review.

Conventional perimeter

Allowed. Then forgotten.

The request passes the rules and reaches your application. What happens next can remain unknown.

Decision: ALLOW

The Parrera approach

Allowed. Then verified.

Permitted traffic is followed through to its outcome, so security teams can understand whether harm occurred.

Outcome: EVIDENCE

How Parrera works

We don't just guard the door.
We follow the guest inside.

Parrera brings application delivery together with two security layers developed in-house by Teleformation. The focus: understanding suspicious traffic and what it actually did.

HTTP DNA

Looks at the structure of requests, not just their contents, helping reveal suspicious traffic designed to appear harmless.

Traffic Memory

Follows permitted requests through to the outcome. If exploitation occurred, it provides evidence of what was affected and informs a new protection rule.

The goal: fewer, more actionable alerts — with evidence of what happened, rather than a warning about what might have happened.

Platform capabilities

One platform for
delivery and security.

Enterprise application traffic management and protective controls, with verified breach intelligence built into the platform.

Application delivery

Load balancing, TLS termination and health-aware routing for HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and WebSocket.

Web application firewall

Managed and custom rules covering the OWASP Top 10 and beyond.

Verified breach intelligence

Alerts designed to confirm what was accessed, changed or executed, backed by evidence.

Bot control

Protection against scanners, scrapers, credential stuffing tools and automated agents.

L7 rate limiting

Fine-grained limits by IP, header, cookie or parameter to help prevent API abuse.

Observability

Request-level logs and per-rule metrics for incident response and audit.

Who it’s for

Built for anyone with a public-facing application.

If your business is reachable over HTTP or HTTPS, the verification gap may affect you too. Parrera is designed for organisations that depend on reliable, secure applications and APIs.
