Web Application Firewalls

Fix Critical Application Vulnerabilities

Every organisation depends on applications and websites to operate effectively. Unfortunately, those applications can also act as a significant vector for today’s advanced threats. A single unpatched vulnerability can let an attacker penetrate your entire network (exactly what happened in the Equifax Scandal), compromising both your data, and the data of your customers, leading to a huge impact on your organisation and its operations.

Did You Know?

67% of cyber attacks happen at the application layer. And 76% of websites have at least one critical vulnerability. – Forrester Research.

WAF Deployment Options

As an independent IT provider, we strive to offer our customers as much choice and flexibility as possible, working with a range of vendor partners, associates, and solutions that we’ve carefully selected over the past 12 years. Although we offer a range of solutions in most other IT solution areas, Barracuda is quite simply the best Web Application Firewall we’ve found and is therefore the WAF that we recommend above all others at present.

Key Features & Benefits

 APPLICATION PROTECTION

Robust security against targeted and automated attacks. Administrators have the ability to set granular controls on response, allowing them to block, throttle, redirect, or perform a number of other actions.

OWASP TOP 10 PROTECTION

OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) list the Top 10 critical attacks like SQL Injections and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). These vulnerabilities are automatically identified, logged, and protected against.

FIX THREATS AUTOMATICALLY

Utilises popular application scanners like IBM AppScan and Cenzic Hailstorm and then automatically configures your security template to protect against the identified issues without administrator intervention. Ensures you remain protected at all time during development work, or the implementation of new applications. 

ADVANCED DDoS MITIGATION

Advanced DDoS protection capabilities allow administrators to distinguish real users from botnets through the use of advanced risk assessment techniques, heuristic fingerprinting and IP reputation, thereby allowing them to block, throttle, or challenge suspicious traffic. 

MOBILE APP PROTECTION

Secures the entire attack surface of mobile applications and REST APIs, filters malicious inputs in requests with JSON payloads, helps ensure API SLAs to partners, and provides anti-pharming protection from rogue consumers. Interactive web applications using JSON with AJAX are similarly protected.

DATA LOSS PREVENTION

Inspects all inbound traffic for attacks, and outbound traffic for sensitive data. Sensitive information such as credit card numbers, or any other custom patterns can be identified and either blocked or masked without administrator intervention. Information is logged and can be used by administrators to find potential leaks.

COMPLIANCE

Comply with major application-specific requirements like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, FISMA, and SOX. Directly satisfy section 6.6 of PCI-DSS and assists compliance with built-in PCI compliance reports. A FIPS 140-2 HSM model ensures that applications it protects meet the highest cryptographic standards.

ADVANCED THREAT PROTECTION

Comprehensive security against advanced zero-hour threats. By analysing files in a CPU-emulation based sandbox, detect and block malware embedded deep inside files uploaded to your web site or web application.

APPLICATION LOAD BALANCING

Load balancing of all types of applications included with the Web Application Firewall. Load balancing ensures that subsequent requests from the same IP address will be routed to the same back-end server as the initial request. This guarantee of persistence requires an awareness of server health so subsequent requests are not routed to a server which is no longer responding. Monitor server health by tracking server responses to actual requests and marking the server as out-of-service when errors exceed a user configured threshold.

COMPREHENSIVE REPORTING

Powerful graphical reporting provides immediate insight into compliance, threat activity, web traffic and regulatory compliance. All client requests, administrator modifications, and firewall actions are logged. This provides a comprehensive audit log for compliance and security policy tuning. Data from the logs are used to build graphical reports on attacks, web traffic, compliance or a number of other analytical reports. Logs can also be exported to 3rd party analytics suite via Syslog or FTP.
