Web Application Security with WAAP and MFA

Protect web applications and APIs with Web Application Security

Web applications and APIs are points of access to company data and applications.

Customers and employees can access information quickly and easily at any time from anywhere. Cybercriminals also use these gateways. Around 60% of all successful cyberattacks are the result of insufficiently protected web applications.

Strengthen your web application security with WAAP

Use our Web Application Security to protect your company data from unauthorised access via web applications and keep your IT infrastructure secure when opening up the web environment to external ecosystems and cross-system digitisation projects. Central Web Application and API Protection (WAF) and strong Identity and Access Management (IAM) effectively protect web applications from attack and unauthorised access. We offer protection from known OWASP risks and use anomaly detection and QoS to improve the security and availability of your web-based IT services.

Are you looking for an experienced WAAP security provider?

Our service is based on solutions from leading providers of WAAP solutions. It protects your users, applications and data from identity theft and other online attacks. While the web application firewall (WAF) and IAM verify and allow authorised access attempts, the additional modules detect and block bot attacks, unauthorised API access attempts and other anomalies.

Identity federation is used if reconciliation is required across system boundaries to enable the anonymisation of individual information. This also enables a secure reconciliation of identity and authentication information between different organisations’ IT infrastructures.

In addition to meeting the most demanding compliance requirements, the solution is highly scalable, permitting short time-to-market cycles. The simple, intuitive processes also add significant value for your users. The high usability of our central security infrastructure ensures positive customer experiences, inspires trust and creates positive associations with your brand, bringing you closer to your customers.
