Web Application Firewall

Beside Data Leakage Prevention, a Web Application Firewall
enhances security by means of guarding from common web-based
application threats.
In order to detect application-layer attacks (for example
Injection, Cross-Site Scripting, Cross-Site Request Forgery or
session/cookie-based flaws in general) and prevent them even
before they reach the application itself, the HTTP-traffic
(layer 7) gets interpreted and monitored. This allows checking
requests (or at least responses) for suspicious activity or
known weaknesses that have not been fixed by the maintainer so
far on the basis of included signatures or custom rulesets.
This global approach as "Single Point of Detection", combined
with a fine-grained control, ensures protection of several
systems without the need of touching the existing applications
and meets the PCI DSS requirements. The use of cookie- and
URL-encryption improves the protection against several common
threats once more significantly.
