Cloud computing was not designed for security, although organizations such as Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) are making great strides in helping the industry solve the myriad security problems confronting cloud computing. The benchmark guidelines established by the CSA in the document, Guidance for Critical Areas of Focus in Cloud Computing, is a great first step. This white paper is intended to pick up where the CSA guide left off in terms of defining what a distributed web application firewall (dWAF) should look like in order to meet the standards set within the CSA document.
art of defence provides comprehensive application security technology for every scale. Our flagship product, the pure software distributed Web application firewall (dWAF) hyperguard, protects web and cloud applications against known and unknown attacks at the application layer (such as OWASP Top10). Today, hyperguard helps leading banks, financial services providers and e-commerce businesses to fulfill industry standards such as PCI compliance (PCI DSS v1.2).
Today, OWASP has released an updated report capturing the top ten risks associated with the use of web applications in an enterprise. This colorful 22 page report is packed with examples and details that explain these risks to software developers, managers, and anyone interested in the future of web security. Everything at OWASP is free and open to everyone, and you can download the latest OWASP Top 10 report for free at:
