Web App Firewall
Web applications have become a prime vector of attack for hackers and cybercriminals, who are now taking advantage of methods that bypass traditional network and host-based security technologies. It is essential for organizations to have application-layer security measures in place to protect Web applications as well as the underlying servers and databases that support them. In addition, compliance mandates now require organizations to secure their Web applications.
To help organizations defend their web presence, Dell SecureWorks' Web Application Firewall (WAF) Management service provides 24x7x365 management and real-time monitoring for Web application firewalls. With our WAF Management service, Dell SecureWorks supports the entire WAF lifecycle and ensures your WAF appliances provide the highest degree of protection without interrupting legitimate business traffic to and from your applications.
Web Application Firewall service enables you to:
Implement WAFs seamlessly to defend your critical web resources
Dell SecureWorks' Web Application Firewall service will architect, design and deploy a WAF solution that addresses your security and compliance needs, and integrates seamlessly into your network.
Partner with premier security analysts without adding headcount
Organizations that rely on Dell SecureWorks' Web Application Firewall service gain access to an extended team of expert security resources without requiring additional headcount. This partnership commonly alleviates the tension that exists when resources already are stretched too thin. Our Security Operations Centers are staffed by the most experienced, well-trained and well-equipped team of Security Analysts in the industry. This team of premier Security Analysts serves as an extension of your staff, working closely together to enable faster and more accurate detection and response to security incidents.
Maximize web application effectiveness with ongoing tuning
While select, market-leading WAF's include some automated tuning, significant time and expertise is required to strike and maintain the balance between security and availability. Without ongoing tuning, WAFs can block legitimate application traffic or allow unwanted traffic. Dell SecureWorks experts perform extensive analysis of your application traffic to tightly configure WAF policies and rules. Once the service is turned up, our expert team continuously monitors web traffic in order to tune WAF performance without hindering the flow of legitimate network traffic. We tailor the service to each customer's unique environment, leveraging best practices to ensure legitimate network access while maintaining web application availability and firewall performance.
Convey your security posture to executives, operations and auditors
Our Web Application Firewall Management service provides full access to the Dell SecureWorks Customer Portal. Our Portal is the industry's leading customer interface, providing your organization with real-time security and service delivery visibility. The Customer Portal features robust, asset-based reporting capabilities as well as a wide array of prebuilt security and compliance reports for PCI, FFIEC, SOX, HIPAA and other regulations. The Portal provides meaningful security intelligence and enables you to easily demonstrate the effectiveness of your security efforts to management and auditors.
