Hillstone Networks announced the release of Hillstone virtual Web Application Firewall (vWAF) as
part of its full breadth of cybersecurity solutions. vWAF addresses and
protects against the barrage of vulnerabilities that are regularly
reported in Web applications and pose a significant threat to an
enterprise's security posture.
With
vWAF, customers can fully secure applications that span multiple data
centers or clouds. With proactive Layer-7 security, it detects and
defends against attacks at both the network layer (DDoS attacks, flood
attacks, scan and spoof, etc.), at the application layer (injection
attacks, cross site scripting attacks, SQL injection, etc.), as well as
specific files (.docx, .jpg). vWAF protects against OWASP Top 10 threats, including addressing broken authentication (illegal access) with an automated protection process.
vWAF highlights include:
- Machine-Learning-driven
semantic analysis, policy optimization and unknown attack defense
together help detect and fix vulnerabilities, and identify and protect
against threats.
- Improved
detection accuracy delivered with context and connotation, so that
security admins have a clear understanding of the threat and its impact.
- Advanced
API protection secures against excessive data exposure and increased
attack surfaces, ensuring the integrity of the app development
environment.
"Your
network may be secure, but what about the applications running in your
virtual environments? Protection doesn't stop at the network perimeter,
and web applications are strife with vulnerabilities," says Tim Liu,
co-founder and CTO, Hillstone Networks, "Our customers are looking to us
to secure, maintain and enhance app performance due to the challenges
and complexities they face. Hillstone vWAF is built to protect and
defend against vulnerabilities with a distributed and scalable
solution."
