SOLUTION

Application + API (WAAP) Security and Availability On Prem/Cloud

applications get complex, SO IS YOUR PROTECTION

WAAP is the new waf

  • Signature-based attack detection is ineffective - threats against web applications continually change. Trying to safeguard against them using signature-based detection solutions is an unscalable strategy. WAAP solutions offer continuous self-learning, which helps organizations keep ahead of a developing application security threat environment.
  • Port-based blocking won’t work - traditional firewalls filter traffic according to the protocols and ports in use. However, attacks against web applications and web APIs make use of the same web ports and protocols as users—such as HTTP(S)—making it infeasible to only filter out malicious traffic using this method. A more detailed level of inspection is needed to distinguish potential attacks from legitimate traffic.
  • HTTP traffic can be involved - web applications can be involved, and cybercriminals use this complexity to conceal malicious content. The level of security inspection offered by a conventional intrusion detection and prevention system (IDS/IPS) is inadequate for isolating and protecting against threats to web applications.
  • Encrypted traffic inspection is necessary - more than half of all web traffic today uses TLS encryption, which is advantageous for privacy but makes it more difficult to detect malware and other malicious content. WAAP solutions can inspect TLS connections, allowing them to identify sensitive data and malicious content hiding in encrypted traffic.

WAF IS No Longer Enough

  • Modern applications frequently change - the adoption of agile and DevOps practices means that modern web applications and APIs are in a continuous state of flux. Web application firewalls (WAFs), which demand manual tuning and creation of custom rules, are not well adapted to rapidly changing applications.
  • Cloud hosting has become a popular architecture - this is leading solution providers to offer cloud-native application security solutions. It also provides greater benefits, including minimizing potential bottlenecks or latency, particularly when the web applications cater to customers from multiple areas.
  • The positive security model is lacking - WAF technology has not delivered on its assurance to automatically produce allow lists for URLs and parameters founded on automatic learning of application traffic. In reality, they require heavy manual configuration and tuning.
  • WAF has seen minimal innovation recently - the fast growth of web standards (HTTP 2.0, increased use of JSON payload) monopolized vendor development plans, leaving little room for the development of new security features.
  • Multi-cloud strategy - each cloud provider offers different features and uses a different architecture. Organizations operating across multiple clouds need to build an intricate cross-provider capabilities matrix to achieve effective security controls. Cloud-agent-based runtime protection and WAAP services are more suited to a multi-cloud environment.

IMPERVA

Web Application and API Protection Platform

Imperva pioneered the WAAP market, providing a mature, full-featured Web Application and API Protection platform. Imperva WAAP is based on its industry-leading next-generation WAF, used by thousands of organizations in the cloud and also on-premises. The solution is based on three pillars: application security, data security, and application delivery.

  • Web Application Firewall – Prevent attacks with world-class analysis of web traffic to your applications.
  • Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) – Real-time attack detection and prevention from your application runtime environment goes wherever your applications go. Stop external attacks and injections and reduce your vulnerability backlog.
  • API Security – Automated API protection ensures your API endpoints are protected as they are published, shielding your applications from exploitation.
  • Advanced Bot Protection – Prevent business logic attacks from all access points – websites, mobile apps and APIs. Gain seamless visibility and control over bot traffic to stop online fraud through account takeover or competitive price scraping.
  • DDoS Protection – Block attack traffic at the edge to ensure business continuity with guaranteed uptime and no performance impact. Secure your on premises or cloud-based assets – whether you’re hosted in AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Public Cloud.
  • Attack Analytics – Ensures complete visibility with machine learning and domain expertise across the application security stack to reveal patterns in the noise and detect application attacks, enabling you to isolate and prevent attack campaigns.List Item
  • Client-Side Protection – Gain visibility and control over third-party JavaScript code to reduce the risk of supply chain fraud, prevent data breaches, and client-side attacks.
