Virsec for Web Application Security

What is Web Application Security?

Web application security means the usage of different devices or methods to protect web servers, applications & services from attack by web-based threats.

Also known as Web AppSec, it includes a collection of security controls engineered into a web application to safeguard its assets from potentially malicious agents.

How does Web Application Security work?

It comprises leveraging secure development practices & enforcing security measures across the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), making sure that design-level flaws & implementation-level bugs are taken care of.

Why is web application security important?

As is the case with all software, web applications also have defects. Of these defects, some can be real vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can take advantage of to pose big risks to organizations. In such a scenario, web application security comes in handy as it offers protection against such potentially detrimental defects.

Virsec for Web Application Security

The world’s leading provider of application-aware workload cyber protection, Virsec is the only security vendor that protects processes & memory in real-time.

Virsec’s one-of-a-kind & cutting-edge technology provides protection against the broadest range of attacks. This is regardless of whether the attacks are known or unknown, with no signature or earlier knowledge required.

Runtime Web Application Protection by Virsec

Virsec’s next-gen Web Application Protection with Virsec DPP’s WebProtection protects critical web applications from the most important present-day security concerns, including OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities & beyond. This comprises SQL injections, malignant use of Cross-site scripting & XML entities, and fileless memory-based attacks.

Virsec Web Protection safeguards the application runtime environment from the inside to make sure that user-supplied inputs are always treated as input data and are never executed as code by any interpreter like database queries, scripts, content parsers, transformers, or the operating system.

Deterministic Protection Platform by Virsec

Deterministic protection maps precisely what your software is expected to do and prevents it from doing what it isn’t allowed to do.

A Deterministic Protection Platform (DPP) provides enhanced protection against all known & unknown threats to software workloads deployed in production & decreases threat actor dwell time from minutes to milliseconds, with true protection & runtime observability.

DPP by Virsec can safeguard your software when it is running and wherever it is running, irrespective of the application type, environment, or kind of attack.
