Filter, monitor, and block HTTP traffic to and from a web service
Enterprises deploy several solutions to run their businesses which may range from interconnected systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning, Customer Relationship Management, Content Management systems etc to websites hosting online services. Organisations make use of these systems to deliver value to their customers, ensuring they perform faster and with greater simplicity. While Web apps provide efficiency as well as drive down costs, the complexities of threats also scale multifold. The weakest of links created – providing access through these apps can get to be unsolicited gateway to the entire infrastructure.
Research by our vendor engineers reveal in 2/3 of apps examined, hackers could easily exploit web vulnerabilities and cross the perimeter into your critical infrastructure without much difficulty. Strikingly, experts find no web application is so tightened as to ward off flaws – as much as 75% of them possessing critical vulnerabilities.
A combination of Web Application Firewall and Strong BOT mitigation solutions can protect you from these crucial flaws in the systems.
through an integrated firewall, hardened OS, and S-Shield Intrusion Detection system and comprehensive API methods for easy integration with various back-end services.
Today’s Web portals, Enterprise Resource Planning systems and myriad of mobile applications can cause serious vulnerabilities and cannot be contained by traditional firewalls. Therefore, enterprises require more sophisticated solutions to cover these risks from cyber criminals.
Web Application Firewalls eliminates attack attempts, groups similar incidents and detects attack chains — from spying to data theft or backdoor entry plans. As such, deployment of a WAF, reduces the number of false alarms, leaving the IT Security team to address only the limited critical issues that they encounter. WAF solutions can handle all data related protected server technology stack, deeply analyses XML, JSON as well as other protocols used in present day web portals and mobile applications. It ensures protection from the majority of firewall bypass methods including HPC, HPP and Verb Tampering – also providing the provisions to instantaneously blocking insecure codes executing by using WAF’s virtual patching techniques.
Instead of applying the traditional signature method, WAF analyses network traffic, logs and users’ actions, constantly creating and maintaining a real-time statistical model of the application during normal operation. It then uses this model to detect abnormal system behaviour. Together with other protection mechanisms, it ensures 80% of zero-day attacks are blocked without involving any special tweaking within the client. It provides protection against brute-force attacks, fraud, Distributed Denial of Service attacks, uncontrolled indexing and data breaches. WAF provide developers with information about incorrect code in convenient formats including exploits, thus reducing the costs associated with secure development and testing.
Web Application Firewall provides you a solid protection system against web vulnerabilities which otherwise may go unnoticed leading to data breaches. Its ability to integrate with other application and network security technologies, such as application security testing (AST), distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection appliances, Web fraud detection and database security solutions augments its offerings . Many a time, WAF solutions include performance acceleration, including content caching, and might be packaged with Web access management (WAM) modules to include authentication features to provide single sign-on (SSO) for legacy or distributed Web applications. Therefore, overall benefits are several.
Cyberton recommends Positive Technologies WAF solutions to address this need.
