WEB SECURITY MANAGER
with ACTIVEWATCH

How Web Application Security WorksWeb application attacks are one of the most serious risks in today’s threat landscape. They are:

  • Prevalent – seven out of ten environments will be attacked an average of 40 times during a year1
  • Dangerous – implicated in many
    high-profile data breaches

From SQL injection attempts to cross-site scripting exploits, protection is essential.

Web application firewalls (WAFs) are an ideal technology for defense. However, they also require expert tuning and management to be effective; otherwise, they impact site availability by blocking legitimate traffic, or are set to a level that is no longer effective.
