Signal Sciences announced an integration with Microsoft Azure App Service for the Signal Sciences next-gen Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) solution.
By ensuring that the Signal Sciences solution interoperates seamlessly
with Azure App Service, the integration makes it easy for enterprises to
easily deploy Signal Sciences to protect any of their cloud-native,
legacy and serverless applications against attacks, such as the OWASP
Top 10, account takeovers, API misuse, and bad bots.
"Protecting
our applications on Microsoft Azure could not have been any easier,"
said Chris Lopez, cloud architect, Qlik. "The new Signal Sciences
integration with Azure App Service makes deployment simple and
straightforward, with minimal effort. Our team gets the peace of mind of
industry-leading protection, and our application and DevOps teams can
do what they do best-build and deploy apps that provide our customers
with the best experience."
Microsoft
Azure is one of the fastest-growing cloud computing services on the
market today, used by 56 percent of respondents in a recent Goldman Sachs survey of
Global 2000 IT executives. Azure App Service currently enables
productivity for more than 2 million apps on Azure. Security and DevOps
teams need to protect these applications and APIs against Layer 7
attacks without major changes to their operational procedures. Signal
Sciences has now addressed that need with advanced protection for Azure
App Service.
With
a one-click deployment, Signal Sciences next-gen WAF and RASP provides
instant visibility and protection for all business-critical applications
and APIs on Azure App Service. Unlike other WAF and RASP solutions that
are limited to specific programming languages, Signal Sciences
integrates at the platform layer instead of the code layer, making it
compatible with any application that runs on Microsoft's Internet
Information Services (IIS) within Azure App Service.
"Enterprises
are in different stages of digital transformation and their journey to
the cloud," said Jonathan DiVincenzo, vice president of product
management at Signal Sciences. "Whether they are running applications
on-premises, transitioning legacy applications to the cloud, or
deploying cloud-native applications on Azure, our integration with Azure
App Service provides instant visibility and advanced application
protection, enabling organizations to move faster while ensuring
application security is baked in from the start."
"Azure
App Service makes it easy for organizations to modernize existing
applications that are hosted on-premises, or to build and deploy new
applications using a fully managed platform optimized for developer
productivity," said Sajan Parihar, senior director, Microsoft Azure
Platform at Microsoft Corp. "Signal Sciences ensures our mutual
customers maintain a strong security posture while building, deploying
and scaling their applications and APIs on Azure."
Signal Sciences offers a leading hybrid and multi-cloud platform that provides next-gen WAF, API Security, RASP, Advanced Rate Limiting, Bot Protection and DDoS protection. Fast and easy to implement, organizations can deploy Signal Sciences web application and API protection to
secure their most important web applications, APIs, and microservices
on any architecture-all under one unified management system with full
feature parity.

Signal Sciences next-gen WAF is fully qualified within the Microsoft Azure certified program, and it is available today on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
