Protect services from enemy and friendly fires

Many business functions today are powered by web services, ranging from forecasting, quoting, ordering, fulfillment, to payment. Attacks on these business critical services can result in lost of revenue and sensitive data. With the proliferation of client types ranging from mobile devices to Cloud based services, the chance of a service being brought down by "friendly fire", such as malfunctioning partner applications, is as likely as by malicious attacks. Vordel Application Firewall protects your web services from both enemy fire and friendly fire alike.

Vordel Application Firewall combines powerful threat prevention with comprehensive logging and monitoring capabilities into a turnkey web services security appliance that is quick to deploy and easy to manage.

Message Level Security Across All Platforms

Network firewalls do not block message level threats. Web application firewalls only protect web applications. Vordel Application Firewall detects and prevents message level threats across SOA, Cloud, Web, B2B, and mobile service platforms. Messages are scanned at the protocol header level (e.g. HTTP headers), SOAP header level (for security tokens and timestamps), XML level, and attachment level.

Protection In Breadth and In Depth

Vordel Application Firewall detects and prevents all common attacks against web services, including all attacks outlined in the NIST SP800-95 document "Common Attacks Against Web Services". Vordel Application Firewall has integrated virus scanning of all message content, including attachments. Vordel offers out-of-the-box integration with leading anti-virus services, including CLAM AV, McAfee, and Sophos.

Threats blocked by the Firewall include:

• Denial of service attacks
• Command injection attacks
• Malicious code, virus
• Sniffing
• Spoofing, tampering, and impersonation
• Data harvesting
• Privilege escalation
• Reconnaissance
