Integrated Web Application Firewall & Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Mitigation Solution (Layer 3/4 and Layer 7) Delivering best-in-class network and web application security to the modern enterprise
Web Application Firewall and DDoS Mitigation An Overview Cyber-criminals are targeting web applications from all around the world in their most upstream form, costing businesses and organizations a lot of money and a significant risk to their brand reputation. Factors such as the rapid adoption of cloud computing, continued growth of web application traffic, use of open source technologies, security vulnerabilities, complexity of web applications and an increase in the overall sophistication multi-layer attacks has led to an extremely challenging environment for an organizaiton s IT security. Recent cyber attacks on critical IT infrastructure demonstrates the urgent need for improved cybersecurity practices and measures. As the cyber threats grow, so must our abilities to neutralize them. There are numerous reasons why online resources represent a substantial risk to today s organizations. The most prominant ones are the expansion of these resources, the fact that they are being continuously targeted by today s cyber attackers and are protected by some deficient so-called application security solution. Growing web resources accoss organizations: Today s organizations are continuously relying on building and outsourcing web applications for staying ahead of the competition and to access, collect, process, and relay sensitive data to execute business logic. While these web applications are being used by an organization s external as well as internal users, the corresponding protections are needed at more than just the network perimeter to take care of their security. HaltDos Benefits HaltDos offers an unique and comprehensive web application firewall and DDoS mitigation solution which intelligently fits into an organization s security architecture and elevate the importance of selecting a full-featured solution. HaltDos WAF & DDoS Solution uses state of the art anomaly detection techniques to protect online web applications and enterprsie data centres from common and zero-day web exploits, SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), CSRF, OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities and variety of DDoS attacks on the network as well as application layer that affect application availability or compromise the security of your web services. HaltDos WAF is fully-integrated with advanced DDoS protection which is capable of detecting and mitigating complex types of DDoS attacks on the network infra in real time, not just that, HaltDos solution also has an in-built features for improving the performance and reliability of websites, applications, databases and other services. HaltDos customers also get an unified monitoring when an attack occurs, including the type and size of the attack, IP origin, Attack vectors, mitigation process & access logs. It also identifies the false positives in real time and protect resources without any human intervention. Where traditional security solutionlook at individual transactions through an cumbersome operation, HaltDos Integrated WAF & DDoS solution allows deep visibility and 360 degree protection to its users with a centralized management and stunning visualization.
Web Application Firewall and DDoS Mitigation Key Highlights High Performance: Low latency and high mitigation capacity for very high volume and sophisticated attacks and maintains excellent user response time even when under attack. Unified Monitoring: Per-user customization of real-time dashboards and historical records of attack trends and network patterns Maintains Business Operations: Full protection against emerging network threats and maintain network performance even when under high volume network attacks. HaltDos WAF & DDoS Solution HaltDos integrated Web Application Firewall and DDoS blocks network layer & application layer DDoS and other attack vectors directed at web-facing applications as well as towards a network, while providing superior protection against data loss. It also has strong authentication and access control capabilities for restricting access to sensitive applications and data. The HaltDos Advantage HaltDos Threat Stream keeps track of emerging threats.

Web Application Firewall and DDoS Mitigation Conclusion This is an undeniable fact that the cyber-attacks are growing with new introductions of emerging and more advanced security threats, and to fight against them, ordinary network firewalls fail to provide an adequate protection for the handful of web applications that an average organization deems important. To thoroughly protect their organization s diversity of internet-facing web applications, security teams needed to implement a fully managed solution that provides a comprehensive security to these web applications against the network layer attacks as well as application-layer attacks. This resulted in WAF integrating with other solutions as advanced Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection with load balancing capabilities. A full-featured integrated DDoS mitigation and WAF such as HaltDos deliver a degree of threat protection that uses state of the art anomaly detection techniques to block network as well as application layer attacks with zero false positives and also provides a fine-grained configuration and application server level monitoring that provides full spectrum visibility with no single point of failure.
