Secure at all times
Cyber crime, hacking, denial of service (DoS). Faced with attacks
ranging from attempts to inflict damage to total destruction, today's
businesses must consider the security aspect of their communications.
In addition to encrypting data and, authenticating the users who access
the applications, security means defending the servers against attacks and
malicious requests. The objective of such attacks is to bypass
authentication mechanisms and stop or slow down servers: this is referred
to as denial of service (DoS).
It is quite easy to forge and submit a malicious request to a server
and make it crash. This results in loosing all the established connections
and user sessions and the application become unavailable. Fighting
against such attacks requires to scan the connections at the application
and content level, i.e. at the iso layer 7 of the network.
Boostedge includes a web application firewall
protecting the application servers against attacks like jumbo payload,
buffer overflow, cross site scripting, SQL injection, transversal
directory attack and so on.
