Website security is a discipline that has greatly evolved over the past two decades, with specialist solutions like DDoS mitigation technology, WAF, bot protection and API security. Even generic security practices like event logging and behavioral profiling need to be adapted to be effective for the analysis of web traffic and web application threats.<\/p>\n
When selecting a vendor, try to evaluate if your provider of choice offers website security as part of a huge bundle of services, or treats application security as a core part of their business. We advise preferring vendors who have deep experience and specialized technology especially suites to the challenges of application security.<\/p>\n

The Imperva application security solution includes:<\/p>\n
DDoS Protection<\/strong><\/a>\u2014maintain uptime in all situations. Prevent any type of DDoS attack, of any size, from preventing access to your website and network infrastructure.<\/p>\n WAF<\/strong><\/a>\u2014cloud-based solution permits legitimate traffic and prevents bad traffic, safeguarding applications at the edge, while a gateway WAF keeps applications and APIs inside your network safe. The WAF also facilitates easy deployment across the organization of access control measures, such as multi-factor authentication.<\/p>\n Bot Management<\/strong><\/a>\u2014analyzes your bot traffic to pinpoint anomalies, identifies bad bot behavior and validates it via challenge mechanisms that do not impact user traffic. Reputation management also allows you to filter out unwanted traffic based on sources, geographies, patterns, or IP blacklists.<\/p>\n Account Takeover Protection<\/strong><\/a>\u2014uses an intent-based detection process to identify and defends against attempts to take over users’ accounts for malicious purposes. This can help mitigate insider threats and protect against privilege escalation and lateral movement.<\/p>\n API Security<\/strong><\/a>\u2014protects APIs by ensuring only desired traffic can access your API endpoint, as well as detecting and blocking exploits of vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n Attack Analytics<\/strong><\/a>\u2014mitigate and respond to real security threats efficiently and accurately with actionable intelligence across all your layers of defense. Leverages machine learning and data risk analytics to distill millions of alerts, identify suspicious data access and prioritize threats.<\/p>\n RASP<\/strong><\/a>\u2014keep your applications safe from within against known and zero\u2011day attacks. Fast and accurate protection with no signature or learning mode.<\/p>\n CDN<\/strong><\/a>\u2014enhance website performance and reduce bandwidth costs with a CDN designed for developers. Cache static resources at the edge while accelerating APIs and dynamic websites.<\/p>\n Together with our content partners, we have authored in-depth guides on several other topics that can also be useful as you explore the world of application security<\/a>.<\/p>\n Authored by Imperva<\/p>\n Authored by Faddom<\/p>\n Authored by Pynt<\/p>\nSee Additional Guides on Key Application Security Topics<\/h2>\n
