TrafficShield™ Application Firewall

TrafficShield is a Web Application Firewall that provides comprehensive, proactive, application-layer protection against both generalized and targeted attacks.

TrafficShield employs a positive security model ('deny all unless allowed') to permit only valid and authorized application transactions, while automatically protecting critical Web applications from attacks such as Google hacking, cross-site scripting, and parameter tampering. TrafficShield protects against entire classes of HTTP and HTTPS based threats (both known and unknown) rather than guarding against a limited list of known attacks. Its Content Scrubbing capability scrubs social security numbers, credit card numbers, account numbers or any other identifiable text pattern from servers - protecting against sensitive information disclosure and subsequent damage to the business brand.

TrafficShield is a hardened appliance that sits in front of servers, protecting them from attacks and ensuring that only valid responses get through. Even the most sophisticated attacks can be efficiently identified, isolated and eliminated without producing any negative effect on the site's performance and without harming legitimate application transactions.
