Value Proposition

Problem

Web application security is a growing concern for enterprises. A significant portion of all cyberattacks are directed at web applications, and that rate is increasing. Factors such as the rise of cloud computing, use of open source technologies, the increase in data processing requirements, complexity of web applications, and an increase in the overall sophistication of attackers has led to an extremely challenging environment for IT security leadership. When a breach occurs, it could often have been prevented. However, security budgets are not keeping up. Information technology leaders struggle to keep pace with innovation and the growing costs of breach mitigation, prevention, post-breach remediation, and cleanup.

Solution

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Web Application Firewall (WAF) is an enterprise-grade, cloud-based, globally deployed security solution, designed to address today’s web application challenges. The OCI WAF provides a suite of security services that uses a layered approach to protect web applications against cyberattacks. 

Features

  • Tightly integrated into the OCI console for tight control and ease of use for your OCI setup
  • Supports over 250 rulesets, as well as the OWASP rulesets to protect against SQL injection, cross-site scripting, HTML injection, and many more threats
  • JavaScript Challenge, CAPTCHA Challenge, and whitelisiting capabilities work in conjunction with rulesets to further detect and mitigate bad bots and allow access to legitimate human and bot traffic
  • User access controls can be configured on the basis of countries, IP addresses, URLs, and other request attributes to prohibit risky traffic
  • Multicloud support provides WAF protection for any internet-facing application. OCI WAF can protect workloads in any environment: OCI, on-premises, and across hybrid or multicloud deployments
  • OCI WAF has API, SDK, and Terraform support for every operation and can be orchestrated with other OCI services
  • 24/7 security operations centers with global researchers and analysis capabilities
