Web Application Firewall Service
Deployment options:   Physical appliance   •   Virtual appliance

The ProtectPoint® Web Application Firewall Service protects your web-based applications from attack by monitoring input, output and access attempts, and blocking any malicious activity. It brings you into compliance with the web app security guidelines specified in the PCI Data Security Standard.

When attacks are detected, the web application firewall alerts analysts in our Security Operations Centers, where blocks are immediately initiated against the originating IP address. The service protects against the full range of application vulnerabilities, including:

  • Cross-site scripting (XSS)
  • Injection flaws (SQL, LDAP, Xpath, and others)
  • Malicious file execution
  • Insecure direct object references
  • Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
  • Information leakage and improper error handling
  • Broken authentication and session management
  • Insecure cryptographic storage
  • Insecure communications
  • Failure to restrict URL access

Compliance Reporting

We provide detailed security event reporting through RADAR, our secure customer portal. You can filter event reports on numerous relevant parameters, including the client IP, responsible analyst, actions taken, request method, and more, and drill down for specific event details. Additionally our web application firewall summary report presents the most frequent and the specific number of firewall rule matches. It includes in-depth details on each event.
