Threat-Centric NIPS & WAF Validation & Hardening
SERVICE DESCRIPTION
The "Threat Centric Perimeter Defence Validation & Hardening" service measures the readiness of network intrusion prevention (NIPS) and web application firewall (WAF) solutions against a large set of recent advanced threats. If any gaps are identified, customers of this service will be notified of required policy update actions tailored to their specific environment.
WHY IS THIS SERVICE IMPORTANT?
NIPS and WAF are two of the most fundamental application-level perimeter cyber defence technologies. Companies invest significant amounts of money and time each year in deploying and maintaining NIPS and WAF products from various vendors. However, despite this investment, there are no metrics to determine if these technologies are always fully utilised. In fact, post-analysis of cyber breaches indicates that NIPS and WAF products often miss attacks that they could have blocked if they had been used efficiently.
"Threat Centric Perimeter Defence Validation & Hardening" provides threat-centric metrics and policy update hardening measures to fully utilise NIPS and WAF investments, and reduce the number of cyber incidents from the outset.
