Feeling exposed?

If you develop or just host applications that are presented on a public IP address, then it's important to understand that your perimeter firewall will not provide the protection required to protect you from application focused attacks. It doesn’t matter if you host the application on an internal server or with a cloud provider, the application is exposed directly to the public Internet and open to hackers to find ways to gain access, either to exfiltrate data or use it as a stepping stone to a higher value target.

The attacks can be basic, such as a DDoS attack or they can be sophisticated, such as injecting malicious code into your web application. Either way, the results are never good. You need to build protective controls to mitigate the common attacks and be able to detect and respond to the more sophisticated type, should they happen.

Create a Barrier to attacks.

We have developed an unenviable reputation as a go to partner for creating cyber resilience. Many of our customers have turned to us to help them build layers of resilience into their web applications.

Key to helping you build your strategy is understanding the relevant threats you are exposed to. The nature of your business, your users, customers and supply chain all contain clues as to who would be interested in gaining access or disrupting your web applications and how they are likely to approach an attack. Armed with this information we can help you build up resilience by implementing solutions such as DDoS mitigation and a Web Application Firewall (WAF).

WAF's provide a higher level of protection to web applications by applying a policy that protects the application-specific architecture and data models. An additional benefit to deploying a WAF is that by applying an application-specific policy you can mitigate newly disclosed software vulnerabilities during the time period between the vulnerability being disclosed and the remediation being deployed.
