Allesta Web Application Firewall provides a proactive application level protection through instant detection and prevention of attacks. GROWING IMPORTANCE OF APPLICATION SECURITY The threat of application level attacks is growing rapidly and the negative business impact of these attacks become intolerable for most of the organizations today. Today, more than 70 percent of all hacking events occur at the application level because web applications are the most vulnerable places processing the high-value information. Hackers that can compromise a web application can gain access to protected information and may steal valuable data which may lead to financial loss and a great loss of prestige. Allesta defends your web infrastructure against these threats by detecting and preventing the application level attacks. APPLICATION FIREWALL vs NETWORK IPS Network firewalls or Intrusion Detection / Prevention Solutions protect against network layer attacks, they do little to prevent application level attacks that are used to exploit the vulnerabilities found in the enterprise web infrastructure. Web application protection is much more difficult than detecting and preventing network level attacks. Because the combination of requests and responses in a user's session varies through applications, so it cannot be defined in a generic way as it can be in a network level IDS/IPS system. Allesta delivers application protection against classes of attacks with preconfigured rules and policies.
