Protect Web Applications. Enforce Security Policies. Safeguard Sensitive Data.

Advanced Web Application Security and Compliance Solution

Radware’s AppWall^TM is a Web application firewall (WAF) appliance that secures Web applications. It enables PCI compliance by mitigating Web application security threats and vulnerabilities to prevent data theft and manipulation of sensitive corporate and customer information. AppWall incorporates advanced, patent-protected Web application security filtering technologies to seamlessly detect threats, block attacks and report events.

AppWall improves the security and availability of business-critical Web applications and creates a higher return on investment (ROI) for Web-based applications.

Taking Web Application Security to the Next Level

AppWall is a comprehensive Web application firewall supporting small- to large-scale Web application deployments for the distributed enterprise. It secures Web applications by enforcing security policies to seamlessly detect threats, generate security events, and block both internal and external attacks on critical corporate data with minimal impact on day-to-day operations and enhanced savings on OPEX.

Threats prevented include:

Maximum Web Application Threat Mitigation through Negative and Positive Security Models

AppWall supports a negative security model, ensuring that all risky Web traffic is blocked, including inspection of sensitive fields that can be defined using custom patterns such as Social Security numbers or credit card numbers. AppWall also employs a positive security model, guaranteeing that only Web traffic that complies with Web application behavior is passed through while all other traffic is blocked, without requiring continuous updates of new attack signatures.

Instant Protection with Out-of-the-Box Security Policies

AppWall’s out-of-the-box security policies address major threat categories and provide instant protection, allowing the enterprise to deploy and secure new Web applications within hours. AppWall policies are defined based on the unique structure, characteristics, and vulnerabilities of third-party or internally developed applications. Policies developed for one deployment can be quickly replicated for other AppWall instances in other locations.

Integral Part of the Application Delivery Solution

As AppWall is an integral part of Radware’s suite of Application Delivery Controller (ADC) solutions, customers can augment their Web application security protection with: local and global traffic redirection, application acceleration, bandwidth management, and other application-aware services, all while benefitting from a standardized hardware platform. Combining AppWall with AppDirector, VirtualDirector and AppXML provides a comprehensive set of availability, acceleration, and security services designed to ensure the fast, reliable, and secure delivery of mission-critical Web applications.

Highly Scalable Solution

AppWall is deployed on Radware’s next-generation OnDemand Switch hardware platform, delivering breakthrough performance. As an AppWall deployment can scale to an AppWall cluster, it addresses current and future business needs and it enables business agility for distributed enterprise data centers. The AppWall cluster is easily managed with the Cluster Management component, ensuring all policies across the entire AppWall cluster are synchronized.

Automatic Protection Level Escalation

AppWall can dynamically change its protection level whenever an attack is detected by one of the devices in the environment. Consequentially, organizations can establish security policies that trigger the escalation of the AppWall protection level across the enterprise. This unprecedented intelligence provides organizations with the flexibility to weigh the tradeoffs between business needs, operational performance, and security information risk. The escalation automation ensures that an attack against a single location triggers a rapid and appropriate response throughout the enterprise, increasing compliance and savings on OPEX.

Integration with Enterprise Management Systems

AppWall provides centralized reporting of security events through integration with leading enterprise management systems. Using the AppWall Publisher module, security events can be exported via SNMP, SMTP, SysLog, ODBC and other industry-standard formats to meet auditing and regulatory compliance requirements, save time and increase productivity.

Simplified, Centralized Management and Control

AppWall’s management application provides simplified and centralized management, fast-and-efficient policy refinement, and detailed dashboard and server statistics across the entire enterprise. The Auto Discovery feature delivers a graphical view of the application structure with links to security policies. As a result, operations are simplified to increase OPEX savings.
