The digital landscape is constantly evolving, but unfortunately so are the threats to it. The security of your web applications is crucial to the success of your business: a web application firewall (WAF) can help you protect your digital applications and services. In this article, you will learn how a WAF works and why the integration of a Security Information and Event Management System (SIEM) is a smart decision.
A WAF is an advanced security solution that serves as a protective shield for your web applications. It monitors web traffic, uses artificial intelligence to detect malicious activity and blocks potential threats to keep your applications secure. Machine learning allows our WAF to implement this - previously time-consuming and manual - process automatically. It relies on rule sets, anomaly detection and behavioural analysis to ward off common attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS) or structured query language injection (SQLi). With its ability to recognise patterns of attack vectors, our WAF provides both preventative and forensic control, even when your IT security department is not on duty. As the attacks are already fended off at the edge, i.e. at the attacker, your company servers and networks remain unaffected.
Act now to strengthen the security of your web applications and keep your threat protection up to date automatically. Our whitepaper offers insights into the world of WAF and how SIEM integration takes security to a new level. Get the knowledge you need for robust digital protection.
The integration of WAFs with SIEM platforms offers many advantages: SIEM links security events and shares threat data between different tools. This enables centralised monitoring and therefore strong protection against security risks.
Security incidents & data breaches: Collect logs and analyse attack patterns to detect suspicious activity. Monitor real-time log data where our WAF both highlights and filters incidents so you can immediately see where manual adjustment is needed.
Security posture: Set up event notifications to track changes in your security posture and instantly recognise relevant incidents on your network. Define notification filters and process notifications efficiently.
Compliance monitoring: Identify applicable security standards, define compliance requirements and schedule regular checks.
