Common use cases
Dubai Web Application Firewall
Defend the applications that support your clients and business.
Web applications and APIs are integral to the workings of most businesses today. Their clients interact with services using websites, employees use web applications, and different business systems communicate via APIs.
This connectivity also provides attackers with entry points.
Sysnet helps Dubai businesses secure their web applications, APIs and cloud-based applications from cyberattacks with Web Application Firewall (WAF) and application-layer security.
Application-Layer Security
A network firewall can provide control over incoming network traffic, but some threats to applications involve attacks on processing of requests by a website or application.
WAF provides an additional security layer, which analyzes application traffic and implements policies based on its characteristics and capabilities.
- Web Application SecurityEnhance the security of websites and internet-facing applications against typical application-layer attacks and malicious requests.
- API SecurityImprove visibility and control over API traffic and help defend the interfaces that provide the connectivity between applications and services.
- OWASP Threat ProtectionDefend against the most popular web application attack techniques associated with the OWASP Top 10.
- Bot ManagementDetect and regulate unwanted automated traffic, including malicious bots and abusive requests.
- Application Traffic ControlDefine policies that separate legitimate application traffic from the suspicious one that can indicate an attack or malicious usage.
Protect More than the Website
Most modern applications do not operate in isolation.
An application that interacts with the client is connected to APIs, databases, cloud services, authentication mechanisms and third-party applications.
Sysnet will help you extend the scope of application security to:
- Public websites
- Web applications
- REST and API services
- Microservices
- Application services hosted in the cloud
- Business platforms exposed to the Internet
- Hybrid application architecture
Areas where WAF Security Helps Protect
- Public Web ApplicationsProtect websites and digital applications available via the Internet.
- API ProtectionEnsure security of APIs that tie applications together, services, mobile platforms and other external systems.
- Cloud Application SecurityImplement application security across workloads deployed in cloud infrastructures.
- E-Commerce PlatformsProtect customer applications dealing with transactional information and data.
- Microservice SecurityImplement security controls over distributed application architectures and application inter-communication.
- Bot MitigationEliminate unwanted automated traffic that consumes resources, abuses applications or facilitates fraudulent activities.
Security that is not a Bottleneck to the Business
When protecting applications, security cannot come at the cost of creating unnecessary friction with users.
Sysnet can assist with the development of WAF security policies based on your application traffic patterns, business and security objectives.
It involves an assessment, architecture, implementation, policy configuration and ongoing policy tuning as the application evolves.
WAF Across your Cloud Security Architecture
Organizations in Dubai are running applications across different technologies including on-premises infrastructures, private environments and public clouds.
Sysnet can assist with the WAF deployments across different technologies, including F5 BIG-IP WAF, Fortinet FortiWeb, Cloudflare WAF, Imperva, AWS WAF and Azure WAF depending on your application architecture and requirements.
The WAF technology should follow the application, not vice versa.
Enabling Security and Compliance Requirements
In the context of processing payment information or other sensitive information, application security can be a part of your compliance strategy.
WAF capabilities can provide you with some security controls important for meeting frameworks and requirements like PCI-DSS, in addition to application, infrastructure and data security controls.
Sysnet can assist you to integrate WAF protection into your overall firewall, endpoint, identity, vulnerability and security monitoring environment.
Protect Your Applications before Attack Becomes an Incident
A safe application environment requires multiple layers of security.
In the context of organizations in Dubai, Sysnet helps to protect the application environment by protecting websites, APIs and digital services while also securing the infrastructure underlying the applications.
Enhance the Security of the Application Environment your Business Rely on.
