Challenges with Legacy Security Solutions Network Firewalls Blindly allow HTTP/S Web traffic IPS/IDS Signature matching only, not application aware Cannot protect from zero-day attacks No protection for encrypted traffic Non deterministic protection Cannot “normalize” traffic to detect obfuscated attacks None Well known signatures only IPS / Network Firewalls Data Theft Application DoS Google Hacks Forceful Browsing Identity Theft Buffer overflow Parameter Tampering Stealth Commanding Injection Attacks Cross Site scripting Hidden field manipulation Cookie poisoning Application Firewall Application Threat THIS is the reason so many leading Fortune 500 companies and industry experts have concluded that application firewalls are now mandatory. When you step back and consider the facts, the conclusion is pretty straightforward. They know that (summarize points from this section): - Apps provide access to sensitive data… - Firewalls don’t protect… - IPS and patching… - Just fixing code is difficult, expensive and slow (leaves holes open for far too long while you’re figuring out what to do) CONCLUSION – Solution must be: “Firewall” – Needs to be something at the perimeter that blocks attacks BEFORE they get to the app – extension of defense-in-depth “Proactive” – Must block attacks before they are known, not reactively chase hackers by waiting for signatures, etc. “Signature-Based” products will never be able to solve this problem. What’s needed is a What is Missing? More insight and control into application structure: URLs, cookies, headers, FORMs, Session, SOAP actions, XML elements …
