Cyberoam launches Web application firewall subscription on its UTM appliances

6 March 2012 Infrastructure

Today, organisations host critical Web-based applications like CRM, ERP, inventory management, online banking, e-commerce applications and more. Vulnerabilities present in these Web-applications give free reign to hackers to break into organisations IT networks and reach the database server. This can result into loss of sensitive business data, IPR theft, downtime, and loss of reputation for organizations

Cyberoam now secures critical Web applications in organisations with the launch of its Web Application Firewall (WAF), available as a subscription on Cyberoam UTM appliances. Cyberoam Web Application Firewall (WAF) is deployed to intercept the traffic to and from the Web servers to provide an added layer of security against attacks before they can reach the Web applications. Available as a subscription on Cyberoam UTM, it will remove the need for SMBs and enterprises to spend a fortune on dedicated hardware appliances or other price-through-the-roof solutions.

Cyberoam WAF follows the positive security model based on its Intuitive Website Flow Detector to secure Web-based applications against attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), URL parameter tampering, session hijacking and more, including the OWASP Top 10 Web application vulnerabilities.
