WAF That’s Neither Complex Nor Expensive
webScurity releases first-ever free Web Application Firewall LiveCD.
Minneapolis, MN, May 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- webScurity Inc. (www.webscurity.com), a leader in Web Application Firewall (WAF) security technology, announced immediate availability of webApp.secure™ LiveCD. This unique offering appeals to anyone interested in shoring up their website defenses against next-generation cyber criminals and hackers.
“We constantly hear from customers and prospects that WAF solutions are too expensive, too complex, take too long to implement, and require far too much on-going administration,” said Wayne Ziebarth, webScurity President & CTO. “webScurity is committed to flipping that paradigm on its head. The release of webApp.secure LiveCD is our latest challenge to the conventional Web application firewall approach.”
webApp.secure LiveCD is a self-contained ISO image that can be used to boot any x86-based computer from CD as a single-purpose hardware appliance (no HDD needed), or with any VM solution as a virtual appliance. Ease-of-use is exemplified by a simple five step configuration process. Any IT professional can have things up-and-protecting in minutes - with little or no WAF experience. The ISO image (under 6MB) which is available free of charge can be downloaded at http://www.webscurity.com/livecd.htm.
Independent third-party evaluators and Web application vulnerability scanners rate its effectiveness at identifying, blocking, and reporting application-layer exploits higher than 99.9%. SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), cookie poisoning and other business logic attacks are mitigated through patent-pending web/insite™ technology. Exclusive browser-modeling makes webApp.secure a set-and-forget security measure that automatically adapts to website changes.
Ziebarth concluded, “We foresee LiveCD being attractive to clients, educators, and technology channel partners for use in labs, classrooms, proof-of-concept demonstrations - and even production environments. It is a quick, no-cost way to discover that not all WAF’s are created equal; this one’s actually easy to use, efficient, and most importantly, highly effective.”
webScurity Inc. was founded in 2001 as a privately-held, Web application firewall publisher based in the U.S. Its client list includes financial institutions, higher education, State of Minnesota, private and public sector organizations, hosting firms, Web developers and UTM manufacturers. webApp.secure has been protecting websites and applications since 2002.
