Benefits Apps Firewall

Our Web Application Firewall inspects traffic to/from your web applications, protecting them from potential attacks and malicious traffic. The key benefits include:

• Reduced operating costs: less bandwidth consumption, fewer hardware and software requirements, fewer staff specializing in security and better platform sizing.
• Reduction in the "downtime" of the protected platform and, consequently, increased ability to generate business.
• Assists with compliance with PCI DSS standards.
• Prevents attacks on applications not detected at network level.
• More secure data access.
• Pay-per-use.
• Security audit (extraction of accesses and post-mortem analysis of incoming connections).
• Transparent to the application, easy implementation and integration.

How it works

The Web Application Firewall Service is integrated online between the client making the connection and the web application and server platform. Thus, it identifies and classifies any transaction by comparing it to known patterns of malicious traffic and application-specific vulnerabilities while logging the connections made for subsequent audit exercises.

Connections identified as potentially fraudulent are intercepted by the firewall, thus preventing them from reaching the information source and vulnerable applications.
