Web Security Manager: Trust the Security Experts

Defending Against Web Application Attacks

In terms of security, web application attacks are one of the most serious risks in today’s threat landscape. They’re prevalent—seven out of ten environments will be attacked an average of 40 times during a year—and they’re dangerous, implicated in many high-profile data breaches. From SQL injection attempts to cross-site scripting exploits, solid protection is essential. When it comes to the safety of your web applications, trust the security experts!

Web application firewalls (WAFs) are an ideal technology for this purpose—able to understand web app traffic and intercept attacks, they’re a practical approach to guarding your applications and data. However, they also require expert tuning and management to be effective; otherwise, they impact site availability by blocking legitimate traffic, or are tuned down to a level where they are no longer effective.
