Web Application Firewall (WAF)
A web application firewall configuration is an essential managed cloud service for any business-critical workload hosted on the Internet. As part of our layered approach to security, Xantra strongly favours global WAF services that work on the edge of the cloud, stopping bad traffic aimed at your applications before it’s forwarded to your servers on the cloud or on-prem.
- Dynamic Protection: Acting at the edge, WAFs propagate rule updates within minutes, limiting the impact of common attacks, including SQL injections or cross-site scripting against your web apps and APIs.
- Advanced Threat Detection: WAFs include common rule set libraries including OWASP Top 10, application-specific threats, and emerging vulnerabilities or exposures, which saves time by leveraging the scale of security community efforts.
- Effective DoS Protection: WAF and DoS can be tightly integrated at the edge adding protection from disruptive DoS attacks, shielding you from major outages or performance impacts on your web apps.
- Tuning and Incident Response: Xantra helps tune your WAF solution to your specific requirements and alerts you to relevant threats along with remediation professional services.
