Threat Protection
Shield your business from attacks
Web services face the threat of attack due to the unique nature of how XML is structured, processed and composed. With Web services, applications are exposed directly to the outside world through open, XML-based APIs, making them directly susceptible to content, attachment or execution attacks carried inside an XML message. And because Web services are used for integration, they are at risk to transactional threats, such as message interception, hijacking or spoofing.
SecureSpan Gateway addresses all these XML and Web services vulnerabilities, providing application-level threat detection, prevention and remediation.
XML content filtering
SecureSpan Gateway supports XML, SOAP, POX, AJAX, REST and other XML-based services, offering configurable validation and filtering of HTTP headers, parameters and form data. It can also detect classified words, “dirty” words and arbitrary signatures, and then scrub, reject or revise the message on both inbound and outbound information flows, preventing privileged information leakage.
Attack and intrusion prevention
Gain extensive protection against XML-based threats, including XML parser attacks, XDoS and OS attacks, and SQL and malicious scripting language injection attacks. SecureSpan Gateway can also be deployed to protect against XML content tampering and viruses in SOAP attachments. Communication between SecureSpan Gateway systems in a cluster ensures cluster-wide threat protection against man-in-the-middle attacks.
