Cyberoam has launched the Web Application Firewall (WAF) feature in its UTM appliance range, adding a strong layer of protection to corporate websites and web-based applications that are becoming a frequent and favorite target of hackers.
Abhilash Sonwane, Sr. VP, Product Management, Cyberoam, said, "Last year we saw over 14,000 website defacement attacks on Indian Government and corporate websites with 80% web applications having some inherent deficiency. Most of these attacks remain unnoticed until a major security incident happens. We highly recommend SMEs and enterprises to bring WAF security into their network, especially if they're upgrading their firewall. Existing Cyberoam UTM customers stand to greatly benefit as they will enjoy WAF security at a very low cost."
With advanced threat detection capabilities, Cyberoam's Web Application Firewall interfaces between the Web server and client, scanning all incoming and outgoing data packets to mitigate any potential risk due to applications. It includes features such as SSL offloading for HTTPS traffic, Positive protection model without Signature Tables, URL whitelisting and comprehensive business logic protection against OWASP Top 10 web attacks like SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and cookie-poisoning.
