› Yes. Application attacks consist of seemingly legitimate HTTP/ HTTPS requests that contain malicious code. Examples include SQL injection, cross-site scripting, session hijacking and more. These dangerous attacks will seem completely harmless to the network firewall, IPS or anti-virus, and will be allowed to pass through, unless stopped by an application firewall. › dotDefender™ is a software based application firewall that analyzes all incoming traffic and stops requests that may harm valuable business assets. Red Herring predicts that in five years, application firewalls will be a must-have for the web environment and dotDefender™ is uniquely positioned to become the gold standard in this category.
