Progress Enhances Web Application Firewall (WAF) Capabilities in LoadMaster 360 to Help Organizations Intuitively Secure Their Web Applications
July 11 2024 - 9:00AM
Progress (Nasdaq: PRGS), the trusted provider of AI-powered
infrastructure software, today announced new and powerful
enhancements in the latest release of Progress® LoadMaster® 360,
its cloud-based unified application delivery platform. These
enhancements help organizations protect their web applications
against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks and provide
customers with an optimal application experience.
With today’s release, Progress provides customers with an
enhanced Web Application Firewall (WAF) offering that delivers
improved security insights, minimizes the time required for WAF
configuration and tuning and easily identifies false positives for
legitimate application traffic. With its intelligent false
positive identification and smart rule tuning, LoadMaster 360
empowers customers to more easily secure their applications.
Web applications present attractive targets for malicious actors
seeking to exploit vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access to
sensitive information. Enabling all Open Worldwide Application
Security Project (OWASP)-based WAF filters can inadvertently block
legitimate users and impact application performance, but disabling
the same filters without careful consideration can make
applications vulnerable to attacks. LoadMaster 360 helps customers
find the right balance between the two extremes by providing
precise WAF configuration and tuning based on smart traffic
analysis.
“To address the complexity of today’s evolving web-based
threats, infrastructure teams need intelligent and advanced
technology that can precisely filter, monitor and block malicious
traffic without impacting operations,” said Sundar Subramanian, EVP
& General Manager, Infrastructure Management, Progress. “With
today’s release of LoadMaster 360, we are giving our customers
powerful technology, which, when combined with other application
security capabilities such as single sign-on and
pre-authentication, can help them combat cyberthreats and maintain
their application performance.”
Identifying attacks from false positives is a challenging and
time-consuming effort, especially for non-security experts. With
access to detailed data in LoadMaster 360, they can more easily
configure and customize the LoadMaster WAF technology and quickly
identify a potential security issue only when it occurs. Through a
powerful combination of load balancing, WAF protection, monitoring
and tuning, LoadMaster 360 users can take control of their
application delivery and help deliver an optimal application
performance experience for end users.
LoadMaster 360 provides organizations of all sizes with the
controls and insights necessary to maintain optimized application
performance and deliver the best possible application experience
for users. As a cloud service, LoadMaster 360 provides a single
interface to manage application delivery performance, security and
configuration in relation to LoadMaster workloads.
The latest release of LoadMaster 360 is available today. For
