The challenge
By its very nature, a website must be accessible from anywhere and to anybody. This renders any website particularly exposed to attacks whose consequences can be very important: It could damage the image of the company, data could be stolen, and viruses could be installed and spread among different workstations.
It is imperative to perform every single software update in order to avoid being exposed to an attack; nevertheless, our experience shows us that those recommendations are rarely implemented.
How does it work ?
A Web Application Firewall is installed upstream of the website and will analyze any request in order to block the ones that may present a risk.
It observes basic rules, including classic attack rules, and will also be able to perform "virtual patching" to protect itself against a well-known attack in a defined system (e.g.: Joomla) without having to perform the website’s software updates.
Our approach
As a first step we will assess your website and its sensitivity in order to define rules that will set the level of security required while avoiding the risk of false positives.
A WAF is then tested by the customer to make sure that all the features of the website are operational through the WAF. Rules are then updated in an automated manner in order to take into account new threats, in the same way that an antivirus would operate.
Our offer
After assessing your website (its technology, the type of services), our experts will prepare an architecture and manage the installation, configuration and maintenance of the systems.
Your websites will be protected and you will only have to inform us when changes are required and we will then proceed to make the necessary adjustments.
