Web Application Firewall

WEB APPLICATION FIREWALL

Deal with persistent web-based threats

We spend the majority of our time interacting with web applications. They have become so integrated with our daily lives that crucial tasks like mailing, information browsing, banking, shopping, etc. are now being serviced through web-based servers.

These business-critical applications need unwavering security to protect both the sensitive data generated by these systems and also the people who use them.

One of the most effective tools for web security is deploying a Web Application Firewall (WAF). WAF is an appliance or software that analyzes, filters, and blocks HTTP traffic to and from the web. It secures your web applications from known and unknown threats.

With advanced set features and a multi-layer approach, WAF defends your web applications and APIs from zero-day threats and against major vulnerability concerns. Powered by machine learning, a WAF performs analysis at high speed, provides robust protection, and adapts to ever-evolving threats.

Benefits of WAF

Continuous security

Ensure protection from web attacks and DDoS.

Secure 3rd-party integration

Protect APIs, mobile apps, and partnered services.

Future-proof protection

Block malicious bots and automated attacks.

Robust performance

Secure app delivery and increased availability.

Enforced privileges

Control access rights and impose authentication.

Eliminate manual intervention

Automate and orchestrate self-evolving security.

We have partnerships with leading brands like Fortinet and SiteWall and we can fulfill your needs for these products as per your business requirements.

Deploying web application firewalls

WAFs can be deployed as per your infrastructure setup. It can be deployed as a public/private cloud-based WAF, as a virtual instance, or as an appliance form factor.

WAF as a Service is also gaining a lot of interest. WAF as a Service reduces the complexity of application security with a unified platform to rapidly detect and virtually patch web application vulnerabilities. It’s a simple, scalable, and adaptive approach to web security, which lets you quickly block attacks in real time without affecting the normal flow of business processes.

WAF as a Service provides extremely fine-grained attack detection and analysis capabilities while protecting against the most common web application threats including SQL injections, web page tampering, website malicious code insertions, and leakage of sensitive information.

What do we do?

Consulting

Our core team of experts consults and designs network and security systems for the customer, covering both on-premise and cloud-managed services. We plan and build a robust end-to-end service from project inception to network security installation to completion and handover.

Solution designing

Based on the traffic flow and type of web traffic/mail traffic, we consider the Network Data Protection Laws while designing firewall implementations. Final solutions are presented for both on-premise and cloud-based deployments.

Migration

Our team shares our firewall migration strategy with the customer and upon confirmation, the migration process begins. Migration is typically carried out in a phased manner. Our priority at this stage lies in maintaining minimum downtime.

Implementation

Logix owns the entire cycle of implementation, which includes installation, configuration, and testing of the WAF solution. Our core cyber security team carries out the implementation after sharing a detailed plan and Statement of Work (SOW) with the customer. Post implementation, we are there for our customers through our dependable support.

Frequent questions on WAFs

What is Web Application Firewall (WAF) Software?

Web Application Firewall (WAF) is an automated, AI-enabled software firewall that detects and prevents website and web-based threats like DDoS, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and URL and SQL injections.

Why use WAF?

WAF takes a proactive preventing approach to your website security. With active monitoring and in-built capabilities for eliminating threats, your web apps get round-the-clock automated security with very little need for manual intervention.

How does a WAF work?

WAFs are deployed on the cloud and are configured with a set of rigid rules called policies. Every web request is verified against these policies and allowed to move ahead only if it checks all security checks.

The most beneficial feature of WAFs is their ability to learn from each request and evolve, with the use of AI and machine learning. Once deployed, WAFs continuously learn better and offer more enhanced security with each new web request.

Can a web application firewall defeng against bots?

For blocking bots effectively, a web application firewall needs to evolve and fine-tune itself to keep up with the most advanced and latest bot activities and trends.

An Advanced WAF can deploy threat intelligence and maintain traces of past bot activity as a parameter to test each web request.

Moreover, integrated with behavior analysis, modern, advanced WAFs can learn from patterns and trends and better themselves, without the additional overheads of setting up complex filtering rules, IP blocks, and frequent manual intervention.
