Application Security
What you publish on the internet is exposed to everyone, all the time. This layer filters traffic before it reaches your application.
- WAF
- Anti-DDoS
- DNS
- Bot management
Your portal gets visits that aren't from customers.
A public site gets automated attempts from day one: credential stuffing, vulnerability scanning, content scraping, and traffic spikes aimed at bringing it down. Filtering that at the edge, before your infrastructure, is cheaper and faster than absorbing it.
- Your portal has gone down from traffic spikes with no clear explanation.
- Published applications don't pass through any prior filter.
- No one reviews who's attempting to authenticate against your customer portal.
What the layer includes
Every component is implemented, configured, and left under SOC watch. We don't hand over bare licenses.
Web application firewall
Managed rules tuned to your application, with false-positive review before anything gets blocked.
Denial-of-service mitigation
Absorbing the spike at the network edge, without your infrastructure having to size for the worst day.
Content delivery and DNS
Content delivered closer to the user and protected DNS, which also improves load times.
Bot management
Distinguishing between legitimate automation, scraping, and credential stuffing, with a different response for each case.
The layer isn't installed and forgotten.
Everything this layer generates flows into the SIEM, gets correlated with the rest of the stack, and is reviewed by an analyst on shift. What follows is the same across all nine layers.
Classified in under a minute
The Triage Agent reviews every event that comes in, at any hour, and discards the noise before it reaches a person.
Confirmed by an analyst
The decision to contain, isolate, or escalate is made by a person with context on your operation, not an automation.
It gets logged
Every action on this layer enters the period's report, with time, owner, and outcome.
- Report of blocked traffic by attack type.
- Availability log for the published service.
- Periodic review of rules and false positives.
This layer within the nine
No layer requires the others. Most of our clients start with two or three and move forward based on their reality.
What people ask about this layer
Does the application need to change to be protected?
No. Protection is applied in front of the application; code changes are a recommendation, not a requirement.
Could it block real customers?
That's why we start in observation mode: rules are tuned against real traffic before anything gets blocked.
Does it work for internal applications?
For internal use, the right tool is usually Zero Trust access from the network layer. It's defined case by case.
What happens during a denial-of-service attack?
Mitigation is automatic and the SOC tells you what happened, at what volume, and for how long.
