Cybersecurity threats have become a norm, with old vulnerabilities still frequently exploited and new ones emerging continuously, posing significant challenges to web security.
Zero-day vulnerabilities have become a critical tool for attackers to breach defenses. According to a Gartner survey, over 75% of information security attacks focus on web applications, and more than two-thirds of websites have security vulnerabilities. Zero-day exploits are increasingly being used by hackers to target web applications. There is an urgent need for users to enhance the security of their web business systems to effectively address the risks posed by common web attacks and zero-day vulnerabilities.
NSFOCUS WAF: The Secret to Defending Against Zero-Day Vulnerabilities
NSFOCUS Web Application Firewall (WAF) has over 16 years of accumulated protection rules. By integrating semantic analysis, intelligent analysis, and threat intelligence, it can comprehensively identify and defend against various web attacks. It not only effectively intercepts known vulnerabilities but also possesses the capability to defend against zero-day attacks, ensuring high accuracy while maintaining extremely low false negative and false positive rates.
- Comprehensive Rule System
NSFOCUS WAF rules can be customized to add regex matching conditions based on specific vulnerability characteristics, as well as effectively detect zero-day attack principles, tools, and paths. - High-Performance Semantic Engine
Based on lexical and grammatical attack detection, the engine can recognize the intent of zero-day attack attempts within messages. The semantic analysis engine sets a confidence interval for certain types of injection attacks and web shell attacks, categorizing them by risk level. Compared to rule-based protections, it is harder to bypass and has a lower false positive rate. - Stringent Protocol Verification Standards
The analysis engine incorporates detection strategies based on RCF standard protocols, allowing for effective detection and protection against malformed, bypassed, or tampered messages, especially for unique attack messages created using zero-day vulnerabilities.
Rapid Response to High-Risk Vulnerabilities
- Continuous Iteration and Upgrades
NSFOCUS WAF features a mature lifecycle maintenance system, regularly updating product rules and protection capabilities. Coupled with the NSFOCUS security model SecLLM, it supports understanding and analyzing massive alerts to identify known attacks and unknown threats. Additionally, NSFOCUS WAF continually enhances its security features and has achieved Level 4 security certification from the internationally recognized third-party testing organization Veracode. - Timely and High-Quality Service
