Dynamic Site Accelerator

Network optimizations to deliver rich, dynamically generated content. Your users are unique and they expect experiences that are fast and personal. In fact, 53% of people abandon a site that takes over 3 seconds to load. You on the other hand, need to provide rich, interactive and dynamic applications to meet those increasing user expectations. This can make the pages heavier and risk user experience.

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

A WAF (web application firewall) is a filter that protects against HTTP application attacks. It inspects HTTP traffic before it reaches your application and protects your server by filtering out threats that could damage your site functionality or compromise data. As companies and users increasingly rely on web applications, such as web-based email or e-commerce functionality, application-layer attacks pose a greater risk to productivity and security. Therefore, a WAF is crucial to protect against rapidly emerging web security threats.

A WAF protects against malicious attacks, such as:

1. SQL injection – a hacking technique used to extract sensitive information from a database.
2. Malicious file execution – a harmful technique which allows a person to execute code remotely after a user accepts a malicious file.
3. Cross-site scripting – when malicious script is injected into the code of an otherwise trusted website, allowing potentially sensitive user data such as cookies to be accessed. These threats can penetrate and cripple a website, diminishing performance and exposing your enterprise to data breaches. They target multiple types of functionality within your site, attacking the site itself or forwarding logic to a database where the information stored inside it can be compromised.
