POWERCACHE- Web Application Firewall (WAF)

Introduction

WAF

Working in conjunction with the HTTP/S optimization engine, it protects Web applications as a layer-7 firewall. This is a very specific protection that scans the HTTP request for the malicious requests and neutralizes the threat by removing it or blocking it.

By default the Powercache’s WAF protects against attacks such as:

- Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

- SQL Injection

- Traversal Directory Attack

- Parser Evasion

- Brute Force

- Jumbo payload

- Buffer Overflow

- DoS

- SSL Protection

- Anti-Hacking filters

Powercache delivers robust attack protection using highly sophisticated syntactic and semantic filters that let you detect, filter and block fake and non-http requests.

Powercache allows you to enable “SSL” on a server or application without any modification to either. Powercache becomes the SSL termination point. Where required, URLs are converted and port numbers are translated automatically on the fly.
