Web Application Protection

Web applications provide users with a convenient way to interact with internet content, making them essential tools in business and everyday life. However, this openness makes them vulnerable to attacks from malicious actors who can exploit vulnerabilities to gain confidential information and personal data.

To ensure the security of web applications, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) is used — a protective shield that analyzes HTTP/HTTPS traffic and blocks malicious activity. Modern WAFs not only identify known threats at the signature level but also use business logic analysis to detect anomalies in application behavior.

Key benefits of WAF:

• Protection against OWASP Top 10 threats, including SQL injections and cross-site scripting (XSS).
• Traffic filtering to block suspicious requests.
• Detection and blocking of bots scanning for vulnerabilities.
• Protection against DDoS attacks aimed at overloading the application.
• Analysis of encrypted traffic (SSL/TLS) to identify threats.

Since web applications are often connected to databases, they are also vulnerable to attacks on Database Management Systems (DBMS). Additional protection is provided by Database Firewalls (DBF) and Database Activity Monitoring (DAM) tools. These solutions allow for access control, activity auditing, and prevention of targeted attacks on databases.

Noventiq offers a wide range of web application protection solutions, including products from leading global vendors. Our experts are ready to consult and recommend the optimal solution based on your needs and infrastructure.

DDoS Attack Protection

DDoS attacks have become one of the simplest and most effective methods for cybercriminals. Every year, the number of such attacks grows, and their consequences become increasingly destructive. According to Arbor Networks, Verisign Inc., and other companies, over 2000 DDoS attacks occur daily. The cost of an attack capable of taking down a small company for a week is only $150.

Criminals use various types of DDoS attacks:

• Volume-based attacks
• Protocol-level attacks
• Application-level attacks

Effective protection methods vary depending on the type of attack. We offer traffic filtering solutions both on the customer’s premises and at the data center level. Protection is also possible through specialized external services that have the necessary bandwidth and computational resources.

To maintain a high level of security and protection against DDoS attacks, we provide an extensive portfolio of software and hardware solutions, as well as services for establishing organizational processes. These processes help maintain continuous protection of online resources.

We also recommend preventive practices such as backup, regular patching of software vulnerabilities, and knowing normal activity on your resources. This will help promptly detect abnormal events and respond effectively. Having a disaster recovery plan and agreements with DDoS protection services are also important measures to prevent serious consequences.

Technical Security Analysis and Penetration Testing

Every year, we conduct roughly half a hundred security assessments, testing the security of systems, web and mobile applications, and performing comprehensive audits of information security for major international systems. Our clients trust us with evaluating and enhancing the security of their platforms.

To ensure the deepest security analysis, we use penetration testing. By examining weak points in IT systems from the outside, we replicate the actions of malicious actors to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited for attacks. As a result, our clients receive a detailed picture of their system's security status, including identified vulnerabilities and recommendations for mitigation.

Code Analysis

Code analysis often receives less attention compared to functional and load testing. This is especially true for complex modern systems consisting of many interrelated components. For such cases, we offer analytical tools that meet information security requirements. These tools can be used during software development or for auditing already existing systems.

The most thorough vulnerability analysis is possible with the assistance of our information security experts, who have years of experience in statistical code analysis. This complex task requires careful attention to identify vulnerabilities and potential threats in software systems.
