Secures Core Business Data and Prevents Server Malfunctions

Secures Core Business Data and Prevents Server Malfunctions

  • Proactively defend your applications against automated attacks by bot and other attack tools. This prevents layer 7 DoS attacks, web scraping, and brute-force attacks. Proactive bot defense helps identify and mitigate attacks before they cause damage to the site.
  • Protect sensitive information from interception by encrypting data while it’s still in the browser. DataSafe encrypts data at the application layer to protect against malware and keyloggers. This renders leaked credentials or data useless.
  • Behavioral DoS provides automatic protection against DDoS attacks by analyzing traffic behavior using machine learning and data analysis. By continuously monitoring server health and load, anomalies (performance slowdowns or traffic spikes) can be accurately detected and mitigated as needed.
  • Available as a purpose-built appliance, a cloud-ready virtual appliance, or part of the Simcentric Security service.

Application Scenarios

how WAF Web Application Firewall prevents web page tampering
Web Page Tampering
Attackers leave backdoors on website servers or tamper with web page content, leaving your site defaced and potentially causing you losses

Customization
Configures response actions and content of returned pages to suit your particular needs
WAF Web Application Firewall provides 360 degree protection
0-Day Vulnerabilities
WAF provides 360-degree protection using virtual patches against attacks that may exploit 0-day vulnerabilities in third-party frameworks or plug-ins
Benefits
1
Swift Response
No code change or server patch. All rules are updated regularly in WAF Cloud to protect against new threat
2
Lower Cost
The virtual patches produce lower cost and less impact on services than the traditional patches
WAF Web Application Firewall prevents data leakage
Data Leakage
Malicious visitors use such methods as SQL injection and webshells to intrude on website databases and steal service data or other sensitive information
Benefits
1
Precise Identification
Uses machine learning, threat intelligence and deep application expertise to examine traffic from different dimensions for added precision in thwarting attackers
2
Multi-dimensional Protection
Encrypts data at the app layer to protect against data-extracting malware and man-in-the-browser attacks. Protects against brute-force attacks that use stolen credentials
