The ability to scale is non-negotiable

As financial services companies move forward with their digital transformation journeys, their digital processes and offerings NEED to scale well.

By implementing services rather than servers, our clients can deploy, configure and monitor millions of application services from one place, massively reducing the cost of scale.

There is incredible benefit to using better solutions:

– Web application firewalls ensure application-level security

– Cloud load balancers look after performance and service availability

Our partners #Snapt, help us bring these competitive advantages to our customers, so that they can get on with business, while we take care of the tech.

Web Application Firewall (WAF)

According to Fortinet, Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are designed to inspect and protect HTTP connections and prevent web-based attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection. While WAF tools and devices have been around for over a decade, and are a required technology for organizations that process credit card transactions (PCI-DSS), they are just now starting to gain traction in many networks.

Snapt say that every business exposing online applications, services, and APIs needs a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to operate safely and protect against cybersecurity threats. A WAF identifies and blocks attacks that lead to downtime, leaked data, and compromised transactions and accounts.

Some questions you may have:

  1. What does your network architecture and application infrastructure look like?
  2. Which teams will use the WAF and how?
  3. Where will you deploy a WAF?
  4. Which detection and blocking techniques suit your traffic and risk profile?
  5. Which application attacks present the biggest risks to your business?
  6. Would your apps benefit from virtual patching and scanner integration?
  7. Do you need PCI-DSS compliance for secure transactions?
  8. Do you need to terminate SSL traffic?
  9. What kind of visibility and reporting does your SecOps team need to be effective?
