Profense™
Web Application Firewall
|
|
While most
organizations have a firewall to protect their network, one of the areas
that requires special attention are web based applications that capture
user information such as email address, home addresses, credit card
information and more from an untrusted environment. Traditional firewalls
must allow traffic to reach the web applications that an organization
exposes to internet, and therefore cannot inspect or evaluate messages
received via the web application. Research has shown that web applications
are frequently the initial point of attack. In fact the PCI
DSS requirement 6.6 requires applications exposed to the public
internet be protected against the most common types of malicious input
or attacks.
Profense™
Web Application Firewall, by ArmorLogic Aps, not only proactively protects
web applications and servers against attacks from malicious hackers
and worms but improves performance and reduces traffic cost.
Profense
is a software appliance that can be downloaded for a trial prior to
purchase, but the Profense Base is available as free license, with optional
support services.
