NSFOCUS Launches Tri-Dimensional Defense Solution for Web Application Security

SINGAPORE, May 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As the destructiveness, quantity, frequency and methods of web application attacks continue to dramatically increase, enterprises and data centers are forced to re-think their web application security. Network security experts NSFOCUS announced today a Tri-dimensional Defense Solution that not only acts as single-point solution to protect enterprise web sites, but also as a multi-dimensional solution that covers the entire web application lifecycle.

The solution consists of technical-layer modules that automate detection, protection and manual service functions. They are capable of working independently of each other or as a single, organic unit to deliver an end-to-end, comprehensive web application security platform. NSFOCUS is the only vendor to offer an integrated web application security solution based on its own products and services, including:

• Detection module -- Incorporates the NSFOCUS web vulnerability scanning system to accurately scan for web application layer vulnerabilities in the proactive and operational stages of the web life cycle. When combined with the protection module, it acts as a virtual patch and functions as a scanning sensor that then shares scanned data with the operation module.
• Protection module -- Uses the NSFOCUS web application firewall (WAF) to protect web servers. With built-in, precise web application signatures and behavior-based algorithms, the WAF protects all the real-time attacks from the application layer, as well as DDoS attacks from layer 3 to 7. Additionally, the WAF also incorporates results from the WebSafe SaaS to generate virtual patch protection.
• Operation module -- The NSFOCUS WebSafe SaaS is a cloud-managed service for web servers. As an integral part of the operations module it can be combined with the protection module to independently and remotely monitor, scan and manage customer websites as well as customer-side detection and protection appliances.

Jiong Liu, security solutions architect, NSFOCUS, said:

"Many enterprises today have purchased what they assume are relevant web protection devices. However, what they don't realize is that company web applications are still at risk from web attacks. To protect vulnerable applications, it is important that companies incorporate universal countermeasures that protect the web application life cycle and technical structure of their networks. This solution helps enterprises (especially e-Commerce, government, energy, financial services and online gaming) solve web application security problems while relieving them of routine maintenance, and gives data center customers the ability to offer value-added services."
