DDoS, WAF & Bot Protection

Cyber attacks can cause a significant impact to your ability to serve your customers by preventing them from accessing your services. A layered approach is commonly used with additional defences in place to protect the underlying infrastructure such as the Web or Application Servers. Protection can be in the form of a physical on premise device or cloud based software solution. Either option can be complex to manage leading to organisations leaving themselves vulnerable to an attack.

DDoS

DDoS, or Distributed Denial of Services attacks can cause significant disruption to your infrastructure. An attacker will send a large amount of requests which leaves you unable to to respond to legitimate customers. Solutions provided by companies such as Akamai can help protect against this.

WAF

Web Application Firewalls come in many shapes and sizes. They help protect against layer 7 attacks such as SQL Injection (SQLi) and Cross Site Scripting (XSS).

Bot

A large proportion of internet activity is carried out by bots (robots). Some of this traffic is legitimate activity by bots such as those used by search engines to index websites in order for them to appear in search results. In contrast there are many malicious bots that are used to carry out nefarious activity.

Implementation & Management

These solutions can be complex to implement and maintain. Some vendors offer their services in the form of Professional Services, which can be very costly. We can can support in both the initial configuration and ongoing maintenance of these services.
