Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Our distributed cloud based WAF solution protects web applications and APIs against sophisticated attacks and common vulnerabilities including the OWASP, such as;

 

  • SQL Injection

  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

  • Local File Inclusion

  • Remote File Inclusion

  • PHP Code Injection

  • Java Code Injection

  • Shellshock

  • Unix/Windows Shell Injection and more.

Medianova WAF: Web App and API Rule Management

  • Managed rulesets incl. OWASP core ruleset: You can leverage pre-configured rulesets, including the widely recognized OWASP Core Ruleset, to fortify your web applications and APIs against common security threats.

  • Customizable rules: You can tailor security rules to suit your specific application needs, allowing you to address unique requirements and potential threats effectively.

  • Rich Analytics: You can monitor and analyze traffic patterns, detect security events, and assess the effectiveness of your security rules. The rich analytics capabilities empower you with actionable intelligence, ensuring a proactive and vigilant approach to web application security.

  • Continuous update of rulesets and access to the most recent threat intelligence: Your security measures stay current with automatic updates to rulesets, providing real-time protection against evolving threats through access to the latest threat intelligence.

  • IP blacklisting and whitelisting: You have granular control over network access by blacklisting or whitelisting specific IP addresses, adding an extra layer of defense against unauthorized or potentially malicious entities.

  • Geo-blocking: You can prevent access from specific geographic regions, and reducing the risk of targeted attacks from particular locations by implementing Geo-blocking.

  • HTTP security headers: You can deploy HTTP security headers, enhancing protection against various web-based vulnerabilities.

Distributed Cloud Based WAF vs Appliance

 

Distributed Coverage and Capacity: A distributed server network spanning multiple locations offers greater capacity and stronger defense against threats. Appliance-based solutions, on the other hand, are constrained to a few data centers, and therefore may face saturation risks, potentially allowing attacks to evade defenses.

Cost-Efficiency: Cloud based WAF eliminates upfront hardware and installation costs. Appliance based solutions have significant upfront hardware and ongoing operational expenses.

Instant Activation: Cloud based WAF can be swiftly activated, without the need for physical installations or complex configurations. Appliances necessitate a longer setup time due to lengthy procurement, physical installations, and complex configurations.

Real-time Updates: Cloud based WAF can receive automatic, real-time threat intelligence updates, ensuring continuous protection against the latest threats. Appliance based solutions usually require manual updates.
